    I'd like to interpret the last scene as: he never really escaped the shadow of the Soviet Union himself (he died before the dissolution), and nor have we from the dogmas of world governments and societies, and even more so the demands of modern public audiences - the common people watching YT who demand content creators to make stuff "in accordance to the flow". It's now getting rarer and rarer that content creators and artist make a rational based opinion that isn't influenced by what they've been demanded to make, with little freedom to do what they really want to do because of politics (beware whether what they say might offend anyone and goes in Media), economics (pay, jobs) and especially the audience (need I say more?)

    This was SO GOOD!!! I was so hyped for this one as a Shostakovich fanboy.
    The plot of this MV is very intriguing. In my opinion, young DSCH was once happy to be a prominent artist in the Soviet Union. That was until his condemnation, where DSCH found the truth of Stalin's tyranny the hard way. The MV's simulation is a representation of Stalin's regime, supression and its falsehood of idealism, forced "peace and happiness" through propaganda and authoritarian control. Artist were being repressed and silenced, who were DSCH's own friends and family. Despite being disillusioned by the regime, however, his love for his comrades never left him. While DSCH was depressed and paranoid at this time (who can blame him), the MV shows the secret undertones and messages within his music. With music, the Soviet people were about to mentally unplug from the tyranny of the simulations and see the truth for what it is. But at a cost, Shostakovich had to be sacrificed to stay in the simulation, a puppet for the regime til the end of his life. A tragic yet beautiful story. Good art can not be silenced for long, it will play. His is music lives on beyond his own time. I think Shostakovich would be moved to tears to see the love for his work from around the world.

    I was expecting Shotsy will be a powerful one, but this one hits hard! Especially after watching him smiling brightly as Momo, this paranoid yet strong side of Brett shines through. The underlying tone of the testament that art will won over the oppression is clear, yet the storyline of the mv is twisted so that this could just be Shotsy's imagination. Brilliant in many ways!
    While it's sad to realize there will be only one more mv and live chat to look forward to, I sincerely would like to thank twoset for all the B2TSM videos! They are such great creative works, showing deep respect for the composers while being entertaining. Will support you all the way, in whatever you choose to do in the future!!

    I had heard of shostakovich before, but the first time I got to know more abt him was b²tsm (which I lived so much). what brett and eddy shared abt him in that song intrigued me and I ended up writing my academic paper on him. I'm still not an expert but omg it's so great to listen to this now, understanding everything. the verse at 1:33 is genius. both music and lyrics wise (like so many other parts of this song like damn the whole thing, the visuals?? definitely my favourite out of the b²tsm songs)
    thank you so much Brett and Eddy, TwoSetViolin, for giving us this parting parting gift, all the effort you (and your team) put into it, for giving us one last thing to remember before going out with a BANG

  • @robdgaming

    Thank you for the passionate portrayal of the world Shostakovich spent much of his life in. Now for something possibly sacrilegious: World of Tanks is developed by a company run by Russians. Tank crew members are assigned random names based on their nationality, usually not of famous people. However, I have a tank crew member named Dmitri Shostakovich.

  • @linamalfoy2453
    @linamalfoy2453 Месяц назад +8

    I was looking for this one the most and I'm so stunned. That is amazing. Being Russian, Shostakovich is inspiring me the most from our classical ones. And Brett's portrayed him so well. Such a powerfull work.
    And thanks for everything you did for us, guys. You always felt like a safe space. There was a period of time in my life when I slept with you lingling 40 hours vids on the background every day because of how relaxing for me they were. I never had a chance to see you live, but 4 mil Mednelsson was the piece I cryed relistening once in a while. I fell in live with Ravel's music because of Brett's sudden representations of Tzigane here and there and with classical music in general. You created so much memories for me and all of us, and I just want to say thank you for being here even in the most difficult times. Now we are going to be here for you and let you have the rest you deserve.
    Be happy and stay true to yourseves.
    You silent, but loving viewer.

    Here are all the references to Shostakovichs music I could find
    I’m assuming the main ostinato is taken from the 11th symphony.
    I believe the droning theme is a variation of the DSCH motif with the last note, H (B) cut out.
    0:31: String Quartet No. 8, II
    1:01: Symphony No. 11, II. it’s the theme I like to call “the screams of horror theme”, it’s the part in the symphony where the entire crowd has been surrounded by the Tsarist troops and are being brutally slaughtered.
    2:03 is also from his 8th quartet, it’s from the same movement as well, it’s the twisted klezmer theme he included as the main climax.
    Please let me know if I missed anything!

    I love how the intro mirrors Russians by sting, even though it is about the cold war it is still applicable. Ironically, the music used for Russians is based on Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite, who famously wrote a lot of pieces for Stalin. Even though Shostakovich disagreed with him, he greatly respected Prokofiev and is said to have written this to him "I wish you at least another hundred years to live and create. Listening to such works as your Seventh Symphony makes it much easier and more joyful to live."

    I'm glad for their retirement, especially with these pieces mostly with criticism about today's society as farewell content. They were, imo, coming too close to doing content for fan service (and getting a huge following from kpop fans, who are mostly delulu about celebrities). If they decided to leave social media behind, it's because they kept true to their values and didn't want to cash in on that type of fame.
    Good luck for future projects!

    • @Nicholas-ze5vv

      You mean they sold off their personable brand that interacted with the fan base, who happened to have built their careers, for a commercialized industry that isn’t at the core what influenced people to support them to begin with. They were making a truly positive change by influencing my generation to be interested in classical music. Now they’re hardly pulling over 100k viewers. They turned their back on all of their fans.

    • @auricia201
      @auricia201 Месяц назад +2

      @Nicholas-ze5vv so you think that because they were successful with their channel they shouldn't be allowed to quit and do something else? Are they your slaves or something? That's exactly the delulu fan mentality I was referring to, thanks for showcasing it as an example.
      And what "commercialized industry" are you referring to exactly, since we still don't know what they'll be doing after retiring? If you are talking about the classical music industry, they always liked that, and based their channel off of that, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
      And what's even funnier is that you want them to keep doing RUclips and Instagram, and doing fan service, pretty much like any other kpop celebrity, and All these things are Much More "commercialized " than classical music 🙄

    • @Nicholas-ze5vv
      @Nicholas-ze5vv Месяц назад

      @ Your entire comment was just putting words in my mouth. You gotta actually figure out what I believe before arguing against it. Obviously the can quit, but it’s distasteful to ghost their fan base, people who have spent plenty of money and time supporting them, and leaving them in the dark with no warnings, or even explanations. No videos, no comment posts, and we didn’t get any activity whatsoever for-what, two months? It’s very disrespectful and disappointing, and I have plenty of fair reason to be upset with them being inconsiderate of all their supporters. If you put yourself in a position such as they did, you’re taking on a responsibility to your fans.

    • @auricia201
