Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin!!!
We had a pretty...
...risky idea.
Mm-hmm.
As classical musicians,
when we were studying in university,
we're always learning so much repertoire.
And...
You know, if you want to perform a lot like a soloist,
you have to whip out all the repertoire you know.
I guess we never made it to soloists.
Ha...ha...ha...
I kind of know, roughly, what pieces you've learned,
- You know what I've learned. - Yeah.
We're just gonna say a piece,
- and see how much we can remember. - Just how much we can play,
- Just "Boom!" - and see if we still got it.
Yeah. Some of these pieces,
I have not touched for years.
Scissors, paper, rock!
Yeah!
Yeah, so you play first.
*swears*
Barber Violin Concerto, 3rd movement!
The 3rd movement, you d***head!
Ohhh!!!!
Aww, no, my fingers just feel so...tense!
- Yeah, you just... - Like...
I...I remember it, but it's...
- Nah, can I have one more try? - Okay, okay.
Alright.
- I need to practice that. - Yeah.
- Alright, my turn! - Ah s***.
Khachaturian Violin Concerto, 3rd movement!
Right back atcha!
Dude, I can't remember it!
Noooooo, I've lost it!
Dude, that's...
I haven't touched it in like 15 years or something.
That was one of the pieces we learned
when we're like...
...14.
I still remember...
- ...the score in front of me. - Yeah, it's like the first page.
- Yeah, the...repeat sign is here, - The repeat signs?
- the colour of the page as well, like... - Yeah.
Alright, next one.
Prokofiev Violin Sonata no. 2.
Oh, yeah.
- Being nice? - Yeah, I was gonna pick a really messed up...
Agh!
Ohh!!!
I feel...confident, just...
...a bit tense.
Yeah, I can tell you know the notes.
- Yeah. - You can know—
The finger patterns are all still there.
- Ravel Tzigane left hand pizz bit! - Oh, sh...
I'm not returning your niceness!
Ohh...!
Oh wait.
Oh.
I can't remember it.
Nah, that's it.
I'm dead.
Fugue, from Bach G minor.
Oh, yeah.
Ohh!
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
I feel like though,
maybe about 70% through,
I might have a memory slip.
- Oh, speaking of Bach, I'll give you a Bach. - Alright.
Andante, 2nd Sonata.
- Oh yeah, I know that one. - Yeah.
Played that in competitions.
Yeah, when you play in competitions,
you kind of memorise it.
Nice.
Oh.
Yeah, okay.
It's funny that you said competition,
because I...
nailed the Barber for the competition,
but I still couldn't play it anymore.
Damn it!
But to be fair, the Barber is just...
- You need to warm up, your need to warm up into it. - The speed...
Oh, Mozart Violin Concerto.
Oh, which one?
Uh...
I did (number) 3 and...4 or 5.
- I never learned 3. - Oh, 5!
- Alright, okay. - Yeah, 1st movement.
- *sings along* - It's coming back.
Yeah, it's coming back!
Oh, I love this bit.
- Nah. - Okay.
Was it Beethoven Sonata 7 that you did?
Ohh!!!
Ohh, 1st movement?
- Yeah. - Oh, trauma!
You won't forget that trauma!
Ohh.
Oh!
Yeah.
- Uh. - Ah, yeah.
Oh, I can't...!
And then...
Oh, yeah.
Ah, sorry, I forgot the piano part.
I forgot it.
Yeah, that was pretty good,
you still kind of had it, right?
I can sing it in my head,
I just don't know the...
- Paganini 4th Caprice! - Ohh, f*** off...
F*** you!
I remember that one!
Ohh, that was a dark period of my life.
Sorry.
Skipped it a bit.
Skip!
Yeah,

Ohh, my left hand!
No no no no...
Dude, it's just...
It's like spasming, it's like "Aghhhh!!!"
Ahh!
Ohh...!
Nah, let's get to the really hard bit.
- Yeah. - Ready?
Nah nah nah nah nah...
Dude, alright,
I'm gonna give you a Paganini as well.
Oh s***.
I don't know which ones you've done.
I did (number) 20.
That's like the easiest one!
Nah, nah, nah, uh...
Pick 16 and 20, they're pretty easy.
Oh, 16.
Alright fine, do 16,
16's pretty good.
Oh!
- I can't remember it. - Nah, nah.
- Nah, I can't remember it. - It's been too long.
It's been too long.
Oh.
Oh, that's...
I can't remember it.
Alright, sorry we just butchered everyone's ears.
- Um... - Guys, sorry, we're not gonna post ever again.
- Yeah. - Gonna practice...
- We're never gonna play again. - 5,000 years.
Just embarrassed ourselves.
I mean...

It was fun though.
I wanted to know how much you could play.
We need to go practice!
Mmm!
