Eddy's excuse to play his fav Piece Clair De Lune.
Haha cute
Yeah!
Agree hahaha
Fuckin loved it man
Correct
Turning the pianist into an accompanist on their own repertoire...
That's some cold sheet
Yup
Day 483, pianist log: it’s been over a year since the string players took over, I’ve been forced to accompany the rest of my days. Someone end my sufferings
That's all pianists are good for. Background for the superior instruments.
@Adil Tijani I'm reporting you, just so you know
@@iamperplexed4695 😢😢
This pianist dude looks exactly like how I imagined a person being forced into accompliment in their own repertoire would look
How though
😂
he looks like little finger to me.
Sounds like 'Your Lie in April' in a nutshell. XD
Lmao dude you put what I was feeling into words. The dude is like “this feels illegal 😐” the whole time
I can just imagine Eddy shouting "CLAIR DE LUNE" as soon as they're brainstorming pieces
Or sees the Moon.
As a triangle player, all I can say is that all of these could sound great on triangle. These pieces transcend instruments and works on every level.
😏
Soooo, i assume there are different pitched triangles, so you could make an octave or two and then play them... :-) Hmmm, i think im onto something here...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
But of course!
@@Tristanlu789stolen comment
Next we need violin pieces that should’ve been for piano.
Yes
Yes
For example what?
Yesssssssss
Liebeslied is just one example. Tbh I want rachmaninoff to be alive so he can transcript every piece to piano.
As a piano player, all I can say is that the beauty of these pieces seems to transfer to any instrument, which is what makes them such masterpieces ...
It's nice to see this comment
the amount of salty pianists are driving me crazy
To be fair, it's easy for Piano Gang to say nice, complimentary things because they are at the top of the pile. When you have the best repertoire and an instrument that can play soloist and accompaniment, you don't have the anxiety and need to stake your claim! 🤣
@@paulignacio3720 haven’t seen any salty pianists lmao. We just gave our opinion on why some of us think most of these pieces sounds better with piano alone. There is a reason why the composers chose solo piano.
Agreed ✨💜 in amidst of all the salty pianists here, this is such a comment that brings joy to me because it's like you read my mind and wrote my thoughts.
Nobody:
Liszt: Ten Violin Pieces that Should've Been for Piano
Violinist: **writes a piece**
Liszt: "It's free real estate."
Paganini pieces: *exist*
Liszt: *cracks knuckles eagerly as he prepares to wreck the future of all aspiring pianists*
Uh oh
The guy literally transferred the choir into the piano
🤣
As a pianist, this video is
S A C R I L E G I O U S
🤣

I AGREEEE
YOU are sacrilegious

As a flute player, all I can say is that all of these could sound great on flute. These pieces transcend instruments and works on every level.
Lol
yesssssss
Chopin apparently loved both the cello and the soprano. So I could hear a flute there
True! I’m a trombone player and there’s a great version of Reverie for trombone.
yes
The sad pianist 🙂 playing for a video that titled “piano pieces that should’ve been for violin”
Frr lmaoooo
True lmao
Lol
Yes, he really looks like he's trying to rein himself in
I think he plays the accompaniments perfectly and with no resentment or anything... They totally complement each other!
When you ask yourself: *“why is Eddy the biggest Debussy simp?”* here is why
Lmaoo i thought I was the only one
He literally made this entire video just so he can play clair de lune lmao
@@ckchang-wg2lw Ikr, he even shuffled the roles so his bit plays last, and the outro.

“I do love Debussy, you got a problem with that?” -Eddy Chen 2021
I don't know if it's just me, but it's funny how I think Eddy's playing is really like out there, his energy goes outwards filling the place. He's like throwing a ball at me and I better catch it because it's coming at me anyway.
Brett on the opposite his energy goes inwards, it pulls you/ invites you in his private space. He's like keeping a secret place, but opens the doors just for the time of the piece.
... yeah, that's probably just me😅😂
Cool perspective--their energy is often like this, but I never thought of it that way--and now I don't think I will be able to unsee it.
thats what i thought too
This deserves more likes
THIS. Totally agree and feel that.
YES wow I’ve never noticed but you’re right!
As a tuba player, all I can say is that all of these would not sound good on a tuba. Thank you.

Never anger pianists. They leave no survivors.

ruclips.net/video/fqTvibsP2Xw/видео.html.
Yeah me too
I feel like most of them are fine, but Reverie and Clair de Lune just really don't fit. Reverie especially since the piece is meant to have a dreamlike quality which is pretty much lost with the timbre of the violin.
ppl are salty cause they are sweating ofc.
After 2 weeks, it is news to me that people are salty. As a piano gang myself, I don't agree with some, but that's all lol The pieces are still piano's anyway. Why so serious 😆

That’s actually the reason they were written for piano, to make other instrumentalists jealous of piano pieces as part of a large historical conspiracy from the piano gang to dominate all!!

If by waiting you mean skipping ahead to it then yes
@@chiyamilu6851 he might be a sadist.. the more you say no, the more he continues...
Honestly, this kind of highlights one of the difficulties of piano that a lot of people take for granted: melody. Learning how to master accentuating the melody, and the other parts, as individual lines and not just chords, takes a lot of understanding of the piece and a lot of good control. And learning how to make them sound good, without having the lines standout like a sore thumb, but sing from out of the harmonies, is even more work. Especially for composers like Beethoven or Rachmaninoff. It’s something that even professional pianists, at least from amateur’s and an avid listener’s perspective, can sometimes struggle with. It’s a lot easier to bring that out with another instrument. But when it’s done well on the piano it’s just…*chefs kiss*
As a piano player, I just couldn’t stop replaying this video! Like, some of which are just extraordinary. Violin can be so expressive!
it’s midnight here, listening to eddy’s nocturne while it’s raining outside feels like heaven 🥰

*PETITION FOR MORE CHOPIN ON THE VIOLIN*
@@ladym.7594 its pretty hard. The Nocturne has a one line melody which makes it easy to play on the violin, but as soon as we get to more complicated melody's with lots of chords and octaves, yea no chance. Sure u can do it. U can just play the main melody of for example Ballade no. 1, but it will feel less majestic and powerful. There is a reason Chopin wrote those passages in Chords instead of just a 1 line melody
@@gwaynebrouwn844 couldn’t agree more
This video is Eddy's excuse to play Debussy wearing Debussy Merch
I just love how nobody is surprised by how well they play anymore. 😆 The earlier videos always had those people saying 'I almost forgot they were actual violinists' and now nobody even dares doubt it! 👏👏👏
I just simply enjoyed these guys performing. It was a pleasant change up from their regular content. I love how they are so engrossed in their work. Their faces are completely different expressions.
Thanks guys! I enjoyed this greatly!
i feel bad for the pianist, hes just like
“dude wtf this is so stupid”
“why does this sound better?” 🥲
"If it weren't for the money"
He's Eddy's friend from when they were teenagers, so he's probably used to it.
Im a soloist not a “collaborative pianist”
I think they had a good time. They are good friends since uni.
Get someone who loves you the way Eddy loves Claire de Lune...
That sounds impossible, there's no greater love than that
Alternate title: Brett and Eddy simply starting war.
After a couple years or so I have went from appreciating classical music ,then taking the music appreciation class in college and now playing the violin. These things would not have happened without twosetviolin! Now I feel a more appreciation for pieces of music because I understand the amount of time and commitment to develop beautiful performances. Thank you for playing the violin guys! While I love to laugh at the silly content I do appreciate the serious performances too.
Eddy's Reverie is so beautiful. Its one of my fav Debussy pieces after Arabesque 1 :) I wish they uploaded full interpretations of these !
Me too! It's killing me!
pianist be like "I'm supposed to be playing that"
Editor San is working 40 hours a day?!
Let's appreciate her for her works!
@Adil Tijani stop

No, Clair De Lune has to stay on piano. It’s probably the only reason Eddy even touches a piano
It totally loses the impressionistic quality.
Yeahhh I agree lol
Claire De Lune on piano >>
nah, i'd have to say cello+piano
I think it works for both (piano more so obviously) - give Oistrakh a listen! It’s Ray Chen’s favorite recording!
I agree, it sounds more delicate on the piano and Eddy just wanted an excuse to play it and I don’t blame him
I like this type of episodes when you guys basically compose covers, interesting and of high artistic value
Arrangements. Not covers
Violin has this amazing capability different from other instrument when it comes to long notes. The dynamics and vibrato in long notes are such a signature beauty of violin sound
Being jealous of piano gang? Makes sense to why you never roast them
Edit: This is a joke, please don't take it too seriously. I don't want people to get upset about the comments & and yes they can't carry their instrument but pls, if you want to talk about it, please keep it not-so rude!!
(and yes I play genshin)
It's just not fair that pianists can just play whenever they see a piano around 😭
Also because they need sophie oui oui to accompany them in their next concert right?😂
sadly, cant bring the piano everywhere with u, as it will probably be too heavy-
@@hapainess3636 although not the same but midi keyboards make it way better! 😁 Especially the mini scales
@@bklehano7671 while midi keyboards are more portable, they miss out on a lot of the essentials of an actual piano such as projection and dynamics
Have to disagree on the 1st example. Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 was meant almost as a lullaby. It does sound lovely on a violin. However there is a more gentle and delicate quality that the piano brings to the piece that I think better suits the aim of the composition.
While I do agree there is definitely a "nocturnal" element to the pieces; I don't think they are lullabies. For example Op. 48 No.1 or Op. 55 No. 1 have sections that are way over the top for a lullaby 😁
claire de lune too, i think piano represent the "night" sound very well thanks to its trebly timbre
@@efedaghanbagatur5115 that's true. But I am only referencing the specific Chopin piece chosen for this video...which is very much like a gentle lullaby. The violin sounds nice, but it falters on capturing the mood; especially as the violin hits those high notes. The high notes for this piece, when compared to the piano, can come off as a bit shrill when compared to the more even tone you get from the piano.
@@uhh4312 I think that's true about Claire de Lune as well. The original piano arrangement has a mellow, gentle tone that suits the mellow and gentle composition better than the violin arrangement.
@@jasonquinn4516 Oh if you are refering to this specific piece than I agree as well! I believe you are referring to the "timbre" while talking about the piano being more suited to the setting of the piece. (Which I agree about as well, the violin is better in terms of singing though not really delivering that lullaby feeling because the harmonies are not blending like it does with the piano)
I'm just so happy that you guys are back together with your (and almost like ours) old friends!! Big respects towards Alex, the accompanist (cough cough) I mean collaborative pianist.
AccomPIANIST 👏👏
I love these videos where Brett and Eddy actually perform, and not just play snippets of pieces of music. You can see in their eyes and in their physique just how focused they are, but also how deeply rooted they are in the music and what they're doing. Sure, they're funny guys and all; they're human and they love to laugh and roast things, but at the end of the day they are musicians who LOVE what they're doing and why they're doing it. They aren't playing because they were forced to as kids or because they make lots of money... They're playing because they like it and love it. I especially love watching Eddy's expressions. They absolutely melt my heart!
i totally agree with what you said. i felt the same way listening to them playing these beautiful pieces on their violin.
Can we just appreciate the talent instead of arguing about how piano sounds so much better. We all know people have their own biases. But they’re creating content for us and it’s good content so why can’t we enjoy it?
No, I mean I enjoy the content but dude, you can't desagree that some of the songs played here sound quite better on the piano
I totally agree with you. Let's enjoy and appreciate what they have put in so much of their time and effort to create this video for our pleasure.

@Adil Tijani You suck. Get some lessons.
We need a spotify list with those pieces on violin 😮
I think for Clair de Lune, the violin is a great accompany instrument because it adds fluidity to the sound. However, the piano by itself is still the best way to hear/play this piece, because it is such a more peaceful sound. (The violin can be calm, but will always have that passionate undertone ;) )
This week TwoSet is set on reuniting with friends now that they are back in Australia and I so approve of the amazing music they are gifting us.

The Grieg piece is extra suitable for violin, due to the tradition of playing folk dances and wedding marches on violin/harding fiddles in weddings 👌🏼
I'm going through a slump and listening to you guys play made me emotional. I wish I can be passionate about something, too. Thank you for the wonderful music, TwoSet.
While I did enjoy this, I think the flexibility a single pianist has to play with time and dynamics would take a very solid duo and a lot of practice to replicate. Although the counter argument is that now it’s a duet and shouldn’t be judged against the original! Either way, great content.
I can’t explain how Rêverie makes me feel.. either in both piano and violin, is amazing ✨😭🤍
debussy is amazing
Probably daydreamy :)
in my personal unbiased opinion, and this is only a subjective view on this, debussy’s pieces sound better on the piano than the violin 🤭 there’s something about the softness of the sounds the piano makes that is needed in clair de lune and rêverie that simply cannot be replicated on string instruments! the violin, however, does express the rushing and skippy nature of the piano sonata and the wedding day at troldhaugen quite well
i agree because debussy is literally just for the piano LOL
it sounds kinda like rusty and “unbalanced” on the violin, if that makes sense???
as a pianist, I couldn't agree more. i think it's how Debussy's pieces almost blend the left hand accompaniment and the melody together, and you can do that with enough skill on the piano, but it's just so hard to blend the crisper violin sound with the softer accompaniment. like you can't make it sound as if both parts are equally as important, but you could with the piano. i genuinely can't figure out how to describe what i wanna say but ye
Agreed. I think it’s because the two timbres don’t blend, weave and merge together like the original piano compositions.
I agree with you 100% . Thing is, for this softness and blended sound, piano is not the best in my humble opinion. Classical guitar is. When I listen to Roxanne Efasci play Clair De Lune or Rêverie, I feel like the piece has finally found it’s soulmate instrument. Classical guitar is so underrated and fits those pieces soooo well
@@joshjams1978 I've been thinking about how Clair de Lune sounds on the guitar!! I loveeeee Clair de Lune so much & I pay the guitar, so why not both 😂 Definitely gonna listen to Roxanne Efasci's arrangement!

Can't imagine violinist playing winter wind, how cool will it be
Now I want to hear that
I don't think it will catch the same clarity as piano can. That is my only problem with ravel's orchestration of pictures at an exhibition, in the second movement (gnomus or something like that), the strings section just cannot match the clarity and speed of a piano there. I think the same will happen with other fast piano pieces because violin is limited by it's 4 strings and having to shift between positions, while pianists have a lot more notes within close reach (logically the piano is better for piano pieces lol)

(only 10? I thought would be 101 lol)
And Liszt and Rachmaninoff already transcriped so many 😅
@@abrakadaniel5908Piano gang has started doing so from so long ago that this should be a big series
Oof
With respect, I disagree. Some of these are fine on violin, but I feel Chopin and Debussy especially lose their clarity and poignancy when played on violin. There's a certain stark beauty to Debussy's work that is lost when played by more than one instrument, and a violin can only play half the piece.
Agreed - the only one I thought genuinely improved was Wedding Day.
I like to play the nocturne on the guitar, it still keeps the warming calmness to it, but the violin is just to intense of an instrument to make it work.
The 'silence' after the key is struck is part of the effect in Debussy's piece. The violin can't replicate that minimalist effect and actually spoils the sense of wonder.
I do agree ! But i heard the Chopin one with violin with an another person playing and i found that it was really a great interpretation. Maybe it's just this one that souds strange ? I don't know
Wow you guys are way too picky/salty... you don't have to take the title literally. It's actually a kind tribute to piano and piano composers (they used to play piano and obviously chose pieces they like for this video).
How would you react if someone was gate keeping a melody written for another instrument under a piano cover? "You shouldn't play that on a piano, it was written for another instrument and playing it on a piano doesn't improve the piece". That's literally how this comment thread comes out :/
Wedding-day at Troldhaugen, along with almost all of Grieg's pieces nearby this collection the piece ended up in, are actually deeply inspired by (or almost literally are) folk-tunes intended to be played on the double-stringed hardingfele. So they are all suited for violin, even though the sheet music will sort of mirror a "polite, quiet rich man's party with music in the background".
So, good call on the bow-pressure, Eddy :D That was really neat.
“Piano piece that should be for violin”

Hello, 911 I wanna report this person for some Inappropriate words 🤣
Nice to see them actually playing. Basically what they're acknowledging is that a good tune is a good tune. I really liked the Paganini, worked beautifully on a violin.

As a major fan of Two Set, this brings me great joy.

Well, well, well.... how the turn tables
@@Isabella-vg5ro Well, well, well.... how the turns have tabled
Well, piano concertos are technically works for piano and accompaniment (orchestra)
I feel like eddy wore his Debussy jumper solely because he wanted to play Clair de Lune
Not sure if I agree. Clair de Lune is falling apart a bit soundwise, it's more cohesive in the original piano version in my opinion.
I'll make the playlist of the original pieces, so that you can easily listen back to back.
Violin cannot produce that dreamy voice. Debussy chose it to be a piano solo for a reason
Listen to Ray Chen's or David Oistrakh's rendition of it
When I hear it on the piano, I hear water drops in the moonlight. That's what represent the "clair de lune" imo. Violin is beautiful, but here the piano is much more literal and "pictured" than the violin
Agree, and put the Beethoven along with it. Something about the piano striking the notes, letting them ring out, hanging there before moving on, that a bow sustaining cannot match.
@@sculean I love Yu Chien Tseng's version too 😍 ruclips.net/video/tA-SRg_1J7s/видео.html

The funny part is that you still need a collaborative piano to play them, while pianist arrange violin pieces for solo piano and make them even cooler (like Bach’s chaconne) 😅
Your pfp! I cry for laughing
Sorry man, say whatever you want But Don’t even try to say that the chaconne sounds better on the piano. When you think of the chaconne you think about the violin and viceversa
@@Luca-ep2yd chaconne sounds better on the guitar actually
@@Luca-ep2yd If you listen to it objectively you’ll agree with me, you see in this video they represented the nocturne in c sharp minor by Chopin (which is literally THE most piano thing ever) as it sounds better with the violin, and I don’t actually disagree with that, the same thing with the Bach/Busoni chaaconne
@@salaha.b2438 Guitar gang!
Alex looks so good!
Just when I was thinking schubert piano sonata no. 16 should've been on the violin, RUclips recommended this video.
All the love to the great music
i never really thought of the violin much before, so i just wanted to say i'm grateful to twosetviolin because this channel is the reason i now have a new-found appreciation on how beautiful of an instrument the violin is (and just classical music in general!) so yeah thank u brett and eddy !! u guys r cool : DD
Twoset: These pieces deserve to be on the violin!
Also Twoset: Plays with accompaniment
They should have the balls to play the Ernst erlkönig transcription then hahah
If I didn’t know Chopin’s Nocturne in Eb was a piano piece, I would have legit thought that was how it was written.
Chopin nocturne is all written for solo piano!
I know. I was saying that TwoSet’s transformation of it sounded so good that if I didn’t already know it was a piano piece, I would have thought their rendition of it was legit.
@@fantasmagoria9570 What? Not at all. I’ve studied Chopin and his nocturnes are Inspired by John Field and simply the timbre of the night. There is a reason why these greats chose piano solo, they sound much better with solo piano. Rather arrogant to assume that they didn’t consider different instruments.
They sound so nice! Wish those piano composers compose some violin music
Rachmaninov Cello Sonata is amazing! Perfect combination

Petition for eddy to play clair de lune on piano for us!
And Liszt be like: Hm La Campanella sounds good, lemme turn it into a piano piece and let future pianists suffer

feel so sorry for Alex (Pianist) playing with only one hand. He could bring the piece of music blossom to this fullest color.
I def agree on the first one. I always felt that reverie could be played on the violin to too or gymnopide no.1
