Welcome to the Classical Music Awards Show.
We have 10 categories...
and we have asked TwoSetters to vote on each of the categories.
And the winner of each category will be awarded...
(Eddy) ...this prestigious trophy.
It says, "TwoSet Classical Music Awards".
Winners, feel free to reach out to us

Alright.
A lot of big names here tonight,

Wow! Tchaikovsky, here you go!
Wow, Tchaikovsky had 36% of votes.
Woo!
And who was close second?
Shostakovich!
Who did you vote for?
- Tchaikovsky. - Ah...
I had to go for my man, Debussy.

He's probably not objectively the best composer,
but he's my favorite.
Mmm, here you go.
Alright.
Category number 2!
(Eddy) The nominees are...
Wait, that's an instrument?
I don't know how it got nominated.
You know these awards shows, sometimes a bit rigged.
So the winner...

so what are you doing here?

- I feel like you guys have betrayed us. - What happened?
- Everyone was just practicing. Okay. Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They weren't voting, they were practicing, yeah.
The third category:
(Brett) The nominees we have are...
Alright!
Let's see...
And the winner...

with the strongest social media game...

You know, my parents...
moved over to the other side of the world to give me this chance
to be able to play the violin...
So I thank them.
And thank you to all my friends and family
for being by my side from day 1.
And thank you, all of you listening to this recording
and voting here to make my dreams come true.

*Sniffles*
Thank you all TwoSetters, for making our dreams come true.
Music is love, and...
You can't make good music without practicing,
(Eddy) which means you also have to practice love...
Love requires practice...
Sometimes it's a struggle, but every day we try to do better...
Anyway, thank you very much...
*Sniffles*
Touching story!
Okay!
Now we're done with that awkward acceptance speech.
Our next category...
4 mil Mendelssohn!
With the Singapore Symphony Orchestra!
Wow!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Finally not a rigged question!
Nah, I'm just joking.
Damn!
- Mendelssohn's winning all the awards tonight. - Yeah, wow! Woo!
The next category is the...
We have...
And the winner is...
B²TSM... "Duh Duh Duh Dum".
Wow!
Here you go, B²TSM, wherever you are!
Damn.
That song is a banger.
- Mhm. - I do love it a lot.
Second place was uh...
"Sell Out" too.
- Nice, I voted for that as well. - Yes.
Now, we're on to our final two categories.
This category's a very special one...
And that is...
(Eddy) The nominees are...
I love how it's just the variation 18, not the rest of the piece.
And the winner of this category...
is Rachmaninoff.
- Mmm! - Mmm...
I- I can see that.
I can see that.
That one variation beat all these full pieces.
- That's pretty... pretty impressive too. - So Rachmaninoff's relatives...
Great-great grandkids...
Wanna collect this for him?
- Mmm... mmm. - It's right here.
Who did you vote for for that one?
- I actually voted for um, "Clair de lune". - Same!
But...
The Rachmaninoff is up there as well.
Second place though, FYI, was "Clair de lune", so it was close.
Nice! Nice.
Yeah, I'm not... I'm not mad though.
- Rach is beautiful, yeah. - Yeah, I'm not mad.
- Rach is beautiful, yeah. - I was like, "I get it."
- "It's also really beautiful." - Mmm... mmm.
So the last category is...
"Which composer got the most rizz?"
We have...
Damn.
I didn't even know Stravinsky had rizz.
He did send nude photos to like...
- Debussy. - Debussy, right.
Okay. Anyway...
The composer with the most rizz is...
- Niccolo Paganini. - Wooooooow...
- How does it feel selling your soul to the devil? - Damn...
He traded it for rizz, not technique.
Yes.
But he did die from syphilisss...
...so he got that syphi-rizz.
Syphi...!
So bad!
So that's it for this year's 2023 Classical Music Awards.
We'll love to see all of you guys next year.
This is all unbiased, not rigged at all...
It's fair and square, everyone had their chance to vote.
Thank you, everyone!
Have a great year, and we'll see you in 2024.
By the way...
Go practice!
That's how you can get an award!
- And come to the world tour! - Oh, come to the world tour!
Then you might be able to get an award too.
