"Look how easy it is, Chopin..."
Starts playing Beethoven
I'm dying, love it
Sen Der I wouldn't call it "playing"😂😂
I'm dying as well, but not because I'm pleased
I’m ur 1k like

"piano is easy all u gotta do is push the keys"
"the notes are always in tune, u just have to press them"
Yeah keep wishing opera singer
nigielee ok
“Playing keyboard instrument is easy. All you have to do is press right key at right time and instrument plays itself”
~JS Bach
Well yes you only need to push the keys... but it doesn't mean it's easy at all 😂💔
"piano is easy... here, chopin"
*proceeds to play a Beethoven piece like a six year old*
i woulda slapped him right then and there
Oh my gosh, I literally screamed at that part DX
What was that piece anyway I wanna learn it☺😅
Winter Girl Moonlight sonata movement 3.
I didn't even recognise it, oh my god!
Piano takes up so much air that by the end you are basically passed out
"FORTISSISSIMO IS THE ONLY DYNAMIC I KNOW OPERA SINGER"
Too real.
you can say Del Monaco and Bonisolli
My roommate swears I know only fortissimo ^^ Poor man hahah He hasn't even heard fortissimo yet. Yes... I know, I'm a bad roommate for practicing at home ^^'
@@thaliarice3891 Or it's just Wagner.
Fortissimo is the easiest dynamic to sing in correctly, so yeah, that's as real as you can get. :D
I can relate when singling fortissimo as a male singer though. Some high notes just can't be hit without it when modulation isn't available lol.
bless the accompanists of the world
P I A N I S T S
plz don't hurt muh feelingz
BrianDMS my utmost apologies
finally Forfeited thank you
ALWAYS THANK YOUR ACCOMPANIST
Why did MOzart kill all his chickens?
Because when he asked them their favorite composer, they said Bach Bach bach
Catsexual omg XD 😂😂😂
Bravo 👏
Catsexual Comedy Gold. Someone bring him a golden chicken nugget
Catsexual you made my day
HAHA
the scarf is soooo true, and the germaphobe is such an accurate depiction. Actually had me laugh out loud. All you missed was a big bottle of room temperature water.
I feel guilty for carrying a water thermos now ^^
Or the portable steamer. Or the cup of tea.
Actually bringin a 1 Gallon of water... 😂😂😂
So true
I'm a teacher and sometimes I literally think of wearing a scarf in summer (I don't work at a school so I do have classes all year round). It just saves the voice so much...
I've been classically trained for five years as a soprano, and can admit sadly that every other soprano I have worked with fits into at least one of these categories, and they range from angry 70-year-old church ladies who lost their voices from a bad cold and are trying to rekindle their former passion to pompous sophomore girls whose entire repertoire comes from the Phantom of the Opera original soundtrack.
I'm a high school senior, an aspiring opera singer, and what you just said is literally the story of my life, haha.
Entire repertoire is the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack... too real!!!
I’ve been in show choir for 4 years and have been classically trained for 3, and honestly all the things you’ve said here fit for contraltos (I’m a contralto) as well
Oh honey, I feel you. Keep working hard and developing and improving your voice. A hard working, and well-trained vocalist is so valuable and wanted in the professional world. Don't be crass, but don't take crap from other people either. I'm honestly willing to contact you personally if you want some tips and if you have questions.
1. I am also a classically trained soprano & I'm sometimes germaphobe singer.
2. I visited your channel & you have such a beautiful voice! I especially love your Just Around the Riverband cover! 😍
WHEN SOMEONE SAYS PIANO IS EASY
Ikr
Piano is really hard haha
BrianDMS ikr I played piano for 8 years, but I am absolutely incapable of playing something when I see it for the first time. Yet, people always expect me to play everything perfect and maybe even improvise...
Mihai Carstea so true it hurts
THAT IS WHERE YOU’RE W R O N G
"I know music is hard for those who aren't gifted" *hair flip✨*
whEeZe
It hurts...
......Yes it is... *looks at the person who said it to her pointedly* Actually... Did you hear me sing some notes earlier in pain because I'm treating my knee because I tripped... I may be clumsy but I am talented... Unlike you... 😈
Lol, I like roasting people.
"Chopin: " *proceeds to butcher Moonlight Sonata*
Seriously haha. I couldn't lol.
I didn't actually recognise what it was it was so garbled.
Brett is triggered the whole time
Dana Del Mundo i agree
Dana Del Mundo Está sufriendo mucho pobre.
brett always has that face
he's always triggered lol. love these two
4:45: OMG my late husband really COULD sight-transpose things by a half or whole step! He'd prank me by starting the intro to some violin solo a half pitch higher and when I came in, it sounded awful, and he absolutely HOWLED with laughter. Bless 'im! Favorite memory.
♡
Wow he’s so talented! Also love the dynamic between u two 😍 Hope u r doing well~
@@veronicachow Well, my David died 14 years ago, and I miss him EVERY DAY. You could say I'm doing well, because our kids are making a go of it, though they were young when he died. And I'm all right because I can still live in our home, thanks to inheritance from my parents. But I think of him every day and wish that the Steinway that's ensconced in the basement could be heard every day now, as it used to be.
@@snowyminnesota6028 that's so sad... Even though i don't even know you, your story touched me😢
I also lost both my parents quite young, ... Nothing worse than losing a loved one, can make life seem utterly pointless.
@@Lasse3 Grief is not the same for everybody. It sounds like you are still feeling the pain and loss part. I too can go to that, anytime I'm in a low place. But much more often I'm grateful for all the good times, for what he added to my life that has made me a better person. A better parent, a better colleague, a fuller individual with broader perspectives. Of course I wish he was still here to share all the present joys. But all our time together, it was rich, and we were loyal. No one can really ask more than that, and many aren't so fortunate.
This channel makes me remember that there is good comedy still on RUclips as well as talent of course.
What are you doing here? Go back to sleep, you have school and the sending of the calling card tomorrow.
Ehhohoho Ehh Go *Bach* to sleep
"I think I angered my ancestor"
Me XD
JingYi Teo what is this means? Don't real understand it
@@lazycat2961 It's karma, your ancestors are looking at you and expecting you to do well, if you anger them by misbehaviour you are treated to some bad luck (I think)
Feels bad man when you drop new music on the accompanist
Brett looks so done
As he always does 😂 and Eddy always looks like a meme king.. don't know why though^^
"I'm on vocal rest"
"What?"
"I said I'm on vocal re- GOD DAMMIT EMMA NOW I NEED TO GO MAKE A TEA WITH HONEY!"
purplecatlover1825 randompizza i need to go make a: Tea with Honey okaYy oh my goDddDdD
Hey Mr. Business, how do you do? ;D
AYYY TGWDLM
HAAAAHAAAAHAAAA 😂 "kachikawawa" *dat costume*
*also note, whether it's in classical or pop, us singers do have the tendency to be primadonnas. On behalf of all of us, I am sorry.
5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I felt bad the entire time
Not me. I’m perfect. Always.
Me... A singer who's just like a singing couch potato.
Hej, as long as you sing wonderfully, we forgive you! I don'tknow about the other musicians though....
in all fairness the germaphobe one is because if we get sick we basically can't sing 😂
*gasp* you don't say :o :o :o :o
True
You don’t say???!,!!
That is so true. And it is not as easy to cancel gigs, maybe for weeks, as it is just not to go to work. I am not a pro yet, but I never canceled a gig, because there's been so much invested into it already. The whole band depends on you, the club might not book you again if you cancel, people might have already paid, you lose that money and probably lose fans. You just cant cancel a gig. I even fucked up my vocal chords once, after singing a gig when I was sick. It took more than half a year to recover. That is why you never want to get sick. I mean it is also hard to play an instrument when being ill, but not nearly as much. You can just sit down for that gig and play your stuff and go. I played guitar already after catching a cold, it was no fun, but it was okay.
Is like is someone wanted to just casually throw a bucket of water over you while you’re playing your violin, you know, as a joke, no need to be so dramatic....
why is all of this so real omg literally this is half the opera majors at uni
And show choir majors!
Tots Knows all There’s a show choir major??
every time i try singing a very beautiful song.
i let out a wonderful wailing sound... like a whale
River Constantino whaling!
"I know music is hard for those who aren't gifted" *hair flip* ✨
As a vocal music major, this is WAY too accurate 😂 bless all the collaborative pianists out there accompanying us doofus singers 😂😂 I like to think I'm not one of them but far too many of us are like this lol
I just have to say, pianists who can work with singers are so talented! My first ever recital, I got super nervous and forgot which verse I had to sing(total rookie mistake 😅), but my accompanist was totally professional and just replayed the intro bars. Like, seriously, she was so cool about it, and without her that recital would've gone way worse than it did. Much respect to the accompanists out there!
4:39 my choral director did this once during a rehearsal and I couldn't stop laughing
The dab or the accidentally hitting the piano? XD
Ha
Omg Eddy is just amazing. Giving so much of himself in these roles he's playing
“i have to breathe i’m not human”
i thought breath control was a thing you were supposed to learn while singing???
When singers complain breath control is hard just show them Cappuccilli singing any Verdi aria. The man had pretty much infinite legato.
lol'd when Eddy mentioned Chopin and proceeded to play Beethoven... and Brett's facial expression xD Keep up the great content!
I don't know why but can't stop laughing at how Brett slapped the piano at 4:40
s a m e
it looked like eddy turned around after he did before they did that jumpcut

How not to be an opera singer:
Be an alto (me)
As any alto singer knows, the parts they get are 'witches, bitches or britches'.
@@Marewig Alternatively you Rise Out Of The Ground to deliver a Dire Warning
@@Marewig Britches? Pant parts? Aren't they for sopranoes? Xenodochy and CaiusCassiusLonginus you need to start a TwoSetAlto video series!!!!
Or a counteralto, so no one would even know you exist lol. And they think you sound like a man.
@@adecentdelinquent8986 I’ve never had someone say I sound like a man but I have been told I sound like a prepubescent boy.
I’m nineteen.
Im here boys you dont need to worry
How the hell do you have so many likes in all of your comments?

As a vocal major I find this both hilarious and completely accurate 😂😂
I am the savior that tells everyone when and where the video starts
Thank you 🙏
phentris Im just here to help
KingDragonCat you should be practicing
waiting for you to get banned in a non ironic way.
love ya
Jean Valjean Hopefully not :)
Eddy is enjoying himself way too much for this role :D
SOMEONE HELP ME IT'S 3AM AND I'M LISTENING TO JURASSIC PARK SOUNDTRACK
Evan or Hannah •~•
Listen to Dvorak 9- it's better
Eddy's acting is gold.
Brett you play the piano? I thought you only played the *viola* :^)
*violin ?
will everybody shut up about violas already :'(
-3- PLEASE SHUT UP
@@wongyeejed205 r/whooosh
@Andrew Buchan I think they played it as little kids
I’m in college to become an opera singer and let me just say... these are painfully accurate. I am guilty... I am the germaphobe and *sometimes* the one who doesn’t get the music in the right key. But only if I know my pianist is capable of transposing and I have done literally everything except pay someone to transpose my piece. Also, when eddy started singing ave Maria, I LITERALLY got the chills. This was very entertaining. Thank you
You would get real chills if I sang that for you
3:24 Beethoven's dies once again. For the first time he was glad to be deaf.
Chopin!!! Haha
Octave 11th Pianist U again lol
"Who do you think i am? the publisher? "
This !! haha
How do you know if someone’s vegan?
They’ll say so
How do you know if someone has perfect pitch?
They’ll say so
How do you know if someone’s an opera singer?
They’ll sing so
"For my recital, it would be absolutely FANTABULOUS . . ." -Opera Singer Eddy Chen
Lol
Never gonna miss a video
KingDragonCat same
Dana Del Mundo Same bro
KingDragonCat same
dude almost all the top comments are your comments atm hahaha
Jane Shen Good
the germaphobe is literally every vocalist... just add a big bottle of water lmao
0:51 I just love Eddy's "tSK"
Eddy sounds more like an imitation of a Ghost then an actual singer.
As a classical singer, I have to say this is so accurate.
Am I the only one who'd like to see them do some legit serious violin recordings? It's rare to have great musicians also be great comedians, so why not exploit both? Maybe a second channel? :O #TwoSeriousViolin
Spheres they have some here in TwoSet :)
But they didn't make the playlist.. Sometimes i also do want to hear all their cover but very hard because i didn't make a playlist to it..
How far we have come
Overdoing your vribratto is not only an opera singer problem.
Agreed.Music theater warbles are even worse!
The pianist looks so triggered the whole time😹
is that a towel? XD
Ofcourse kingdragoncat has already commented when the vid started
I'm glad we could finally meet the great musicist Kochikawawa we've heard so much about
Someday Two Set Violin will make a video of my comments
SOMEDAYYYY OVER THE RAINBOWWWWWW
okay
um
yah
Tanisha Srivatsa They will someday
KingDragonCat same
oh yes. ur work will not go unnoticed
Well not anymore
To be honest to *both* of them: well, it can't be easy to practise your own stuff when the choir next door is practising Funiculì Funiculà at full volume.
🤣🤣🤣 you made my day
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:34 that laugh so accurate
You should do a video on how to dress the part of all the different instrument e.g. singers with their horrifically massive scarves etc :P I feel like flute's tend to look all preppy and hot and percussion just don't care.
Grace Homan my brother is a flutist, and wears nothing but sweatshirts, shorts in summer, and sweatpants in winter
I'm a percussionist and I really actually don't care but my mother makes me dress nice
I'm a percussionist and it's true, we give 0.9 fuck and sit in the back and eat in morning rehearsals because the director's focusing on the damn brass
As a brass player dress in tight shirts and during a concert a suit an tie to restrict your air flow even more.
I remember an old video interview with Salminen who at the end proceeded to jump into a lake for a swim. While naked XD Finnish singers are something else.
Brett's page turn is FLAWLESS 4:36
2:01 Killer vibrato right there
Especially with that sudden head drop😂
At least he said "please" when he asked for an A. I've heard so many singers not even say please when asking for a pitch.
3:24 Eddy: Chopin!
Also Eddy: *plays moonlight sonata 3rd movement by Beethoven*
NOW for once and finally, from the otherwise so often ignored perspective of the pianist who "accompanies" the singer. THANK YOU THANK YOU I love it!!
When Eddy was singing Ave Maria by Shubert (2:16) I was going crazy because just before I started procrastinating I was sight reading Ave Maria.
0:07 Eddy sounds like my grandfather doing a ritual.
I STARTED DYING WHEN MY DAD SAID AT 0:15 "what the hell is that"🤣🤣🤣
"Piano is easy." Bruh, I've been playing for 13 years now. I can tell you that it is not easy even to this day.
I do classical singing in school and some long phrases are problematic because I have asthma, but at least my lung stamina is better than that lol.
O Mio Babbino Caro is the Bumblebee of singing
As a person who goes to a music school and has been trained classically as an alto and pianist for more then ten years, i can say that this whole video is painful for me to watch, because i have never mat a person like this in my music school or anywhere in my country and to imagine that there is actually people like this in the world makes me sad
THE OUTFIT. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It really is FANTABULOUS XD
"fantabulous" 1:06
Isn't eddy just being himself 😂
BRETT'S LITTLE SMILE AT 1:03 MY HEART MY HEART MY HEART
Who's this kachigawawa guy? He seems to have composed countless peices and created his own line of violins, I keep hearing his name but for some reason he's not on the repertoire....
La vraie vie est ailleurs Your profile picture matches your comment so well! 😆 also, do I sense a fellow 19 Days fan? mehehe
Gerriane R. *virtual high five* hell yeah second person to recognise it! 😆

OneSingularMusical Thanks! ✌
lmao I thought the same thing, this guy is incredible!
Hahaha Your channel is very funny!!!
I subscribed now
Last one : " The Germaphobe "
2020: actually--
Oh my gosh - so, at band camp (all good stories start that way) one of the musicians (an oboist) was telling us that we have to make sure to sustain longer notes for the actual values. There is sometimes a tendency to let them trail off. He mentioned that there was a particular singer (who, of course he does not mention the name of) who would often cut the long notes short and go onto the next phrase. Well, I guess HE had an arpeggios during one of these long notes and had to deal with her just cutting him off and going onto the next phrase.
I can't do this story justice, because he was JUST SO PISSED. Like this was a guy in his 70's probably, retired from performance for the most part, and now teaching...and I got the impression that this may have happened YEARS ago and he was still just ANGRY...which didn't really fit his personality for the most part. He was patient and soft spoken quite often. I can't remember the exact quote but I think he ended his story with "You'd think a world class singer would know how to count to 4..." or something like that. He didn't swear, but the f'ing was implied. Whoa.
1:50 reminded me of finding nemo when dory "speaks whale"
1:37 when a bunch of dogs see the full moon🐶🐶
The Pavarotti in the background, maybe... 😂😂😂😂😂👌
5:13 The best opera singer in this day and age
Pianists deserve affection for all that the soloists have put us through!
*cries when someone says Piano is easy*
That was something else. I don't know if I was supposed to keep a straight face or not. I didn't. You guys are so much fun to watch.
I'm an opera singer, and i'm not like that but i have a classmate who acts just like that and i know that attitude can be so annoying
We should start a twoset cult and sacrifice violas as a gift the music gods.
Oh god at first I was ready to be offended but then I was like "fair enough"
No music is hard for those who aren't gifted.....I just died 😂
i was feeling crappy about my singing skill but im feeling much better now
This is so funny to me because i'm both a singer and a pianist, and I know singers like that and I have to get with them as well!
You forgot the ‘my personal life is more twisted than a Wagnerian opera’ singer who just loves to tell it all during practice !
2:10 voice crack HAHHAH
This was a fantastic video! Bravissimo!
"kill me"
'Who do you think I am, a publisher??' XD
Is there even a place for opera still, cause I kinda wanna do it, singing normally just seems kinda restrained.
Great work :) as always
Tbh that dab was so unexpected, I died xD
I love your videos guys, found your channel yesterday and proceeded to watch them back-to-back. You got yourself a new sub!
