Special announcement before the video begins!
Are you someone that practices 40 hours a day?
Don't worry!
If you're not practicing 40 hours a day, this is for you.
You have spare time.
We just want to make a quick announcement.
We have two new roles that we're looking for to join the team.
One is a social media assistant,
and the other one is a video editor.
We do have video editors, and we do have people
helping us on the social media side,
but we need more, because we have
a lot of epic projects coming up.
Can I just say, especially for the social media assistant...
Obviously someone that is passionate about social media,
but I think this role would also fit
people that study in music unis that are graduating.
Those that are thinking of maybe looking for a job as you graduate,
if you are someone that wants to find ways to
marry all the education and love and passion
you have for classical music
but with the type of things that we do on social media,
then definitely hit us up.
So take this opportunity and apply below!
Our team will get back to you.
Now we'll go on to the video.
Hey! How's it going?
- Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin! - Woo!
It's your favorite, most talented Subreddit on the internet.
Let's see what kind of talented memes you all have today.
Oh right, it's about forgetting chairs.
- I missed the first line. - Yeah.
Can you imagine rocking up to a concert as a cellist,
and then there's no chair for you?
It would be pretty stressful.
Do you remember [a person's name] used to play without a...
- Oh yeah! Yeah yeah. - Yeah!
It is doable!
It's just not good.
It's not really good posture,
'cause you're kind of leaning forward like this...
Yeah, we knew a guy who played cello like this...
On the streets while busking.
- And he wouldn't even bother bringing his chair. - Yeah.
He'd just be like...
It's doable, but not for a good long time.
- Otherwise, the speed of aging is gonna increase... very fast. - Yes.
They'll end up getting that...
which pretty much every 13-year-old these days are developing anyway.
Dude, I was freaking driving past
- the school the other day, like a bus stop... - Yeah...
Legit this bus stop was just... every kid was in this posture...
We need to start a revolution.
Everyone needs to watch it like this...
- Stretch... -Ugh, gotta stretch.
Ugh, it's not good for your neck.
Ooh lala...
They always look like lollies or cake or something.
- Legit! - I know.
The first rosin I had as a kid, I licked it.
Well, you'll still survive.
Just don't lick it more than once.
I was like... "What the?"
- Tastes gross. - I can't believe you actually licked-
- Did you... you thought it was a cake? - Yeah.
I was like...
And I didn't know what to do with it.
What did it taste like, do you remember?
I don't- I don't remember.
- I guess it's like tree sap, right? - Yeah.
Well, it's proven that licking rosin will make you forget,
so don't lick it.
So relatable.
It's true actually.
As a musician, it's very hard to listen back to yourself.
We're all so judgmental of ourselves,
because we hold such high standards.
Especially right after you perform,
that's where your ears are super sensitive,
- 'cause you know everything that you're listening out for. - Yeah.
And so typically right after a performance, listening is like, cringe.
And you also remember everything you've done.
- And each mistake has like, an emotion attached to it too, right? - It hurts!
It hurts, agh!
The emotional damage!
Wait like, one or two months and listen. It's like...
- "I can see where I went wrong, but it's not the end of the world." - Yeah.
Well, I remember one recording I did...
I played the Mozart violin concerto...
- And I messed up the first note. - Yeah.
*Singing the opening of Mozart's Violin Concerto in D Major*
I went...
- Like I was almost a semitone off, and that recording is... - Yeah.
On a CD, but it's not online.
You're never gonna hear it.
But you know what though?
That's listening to your own recording.
Try watching your own YouTube videos back.
Ohhhhhh!
Guys, please don't watch old videos.
Watch all the new ones.
What so why?
Ahaha...
Ugh...
How'd you know it's B minor though?
It could be D Major.
Your damage could be D Major.
What does that mean?
I dunno, Damage Major.
Major damage!
- Major D! - (Eddy) Yeah!
Cello! Oh, but it's not cello, ooh.
- Hmm, what instrument has C, G, D, A and not the cello? - Wow.
- Hmm! - Mmm...
Guys, you've watched the channel for so long, I'm sure you know.
We're not even gonna say.
If you don't know...
You will know soon.
Don't worry.
Dude, I've seen pianists vibrate the keys,
it was the funniest thing.
They're like...
It's uh, visual effects.
- Yeah. I'm like, "Bro, what are you doing?" - Yeah!
It's almost like a violin pretending there's a pedal...
by like, pressing on our feet, like...
"Extend the chord!"
I mean, pianists out there, comment below.
Why do some pianists do this...
Is it purely visual effects, or is it some like...
hyper technique I'm not aware of?
It's called placebo technique.
Bro, I think if Twitter existed back then,
Mozart definitely would've been cancelled.
Oh, 100 percent.
- He would've been kicked off the platform, banned... - Yeah.
Someone would've exposed the letters that he wrote to his cousin.
Can you imagine?
Twitter back in the days...
Bach's status update would be like...
Yeah... RIP.
Shostakovich would be like, censored and rewritten by the government.
Yeah, Shosty would be like...
- Yeah, Shostakovich's like... yeah! - Smiley face!
- "I love... the government!" - Yeah...
Tchaikovsky would be like...
I feel like he'd be writing like,
some edgy, poetic, dark, painful s***.
Yeah, he might write a really like, twisted post...
- But you won't really know what he means. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Beethoven would be pretty um...
- I think he'd be pretty offensive on... Twitter. - Yeah, he'd be pretty offensive on Twitter, actually.
- He'd just state his views boldly. - Yeah, he'd be pretty offensive on Twitter, actually.
He's like...
- Yeah! - I can see him like, going for it.
So yeah! Twitter... back in the day.
Someone should go back in time and
give it to them, see what happens.
If you could go back in time, which composer would you like to meet?
Comment below.
Sacrilegious.
If you can meme in HD, you can meme in 48p.
Ohhh!
Oh, that bridge!
First question: how did that even happen?
Second of all, do you see that crack?
Your violin needs fixing too, I'm sorry.
- It's not a good crack. - It'll affect the sound.
The luthier will probably have to just glue it up.
Also, they have to open it as well.
Depends on your violin, though.
- Get a quote, see if it's worth... fixing it, - That's true.
- or if it's a cheap violin, maybe just consider a new one. - That's true.
Dude, that slice on the bridge though...
- That looks like freaking Zoro from "One Piece" just went... - Yeah...
- Wow. - How do you do that while changing...
Maybe it just...
- 'Kay, I suspect the bridge was - It's either getting bent...
already bent from all the tuning you've done,
and never- no one really...
- Corrected it. - bent- corrected the bridge,
and over time, the bridge went...
- I also think it's probably just not a very good quality bridge. - That's what I'm thinking.
- I've never seen a bridge crack like that, honestly. - I don't think it's...
"NO! I took my sister's violin and kept practicing!"
Wow!
True TwoSetter Ling Ling wannabe there.
You're practicing real hard.
- I'm actually impressed. - Nice.
That's my impression of Eminem,
I don't actually know how he raps.
Any words of sage advice on when you feel like
you're practicing, but you're getting worse over time?
Practice more.
No, I'm just...
- And it will just keep getting worse. - (Brett) Yeah, just keep getting worse.
- And then just keep practicing more. - (Brett) Yeah, just keep getting worse.
It will get so bad, that you have to change your practice,
and it will get... hopefully get better.
Damn, respect.
Classical music...
I actually don't know what Roller Coaster Tycoon is.
Have you played it?
No, but I think it's a birth of a villain right here, so...
Huh?
I remember seeing this.
Beethoven will be proud.
He can have a... conversation with Beethoven.
I wish someone recorded it.
Yeah!
Yeah, I want proof!
Tchaikovsky's 5th. What, like...
*Sings horn solo of Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony*
It's pretty epic.
Eargasm, yes.
But body orgasm...
That's something else.
Actually, when the French horn comes, it's pretty epic though.
I hope they didn't dirty the freaking seats.
Cleaners don't get paid enough, okay?
They don't want to deal with your body orgasm...
Okay, this is a PG channel.
Let's keep going.
It's not in tune, that was a B.
Very accurate!
That portrayal, I love it.
It's true! They're at the back, chilling.
- Sometimes they have a book, sometimes they're eating... - Yeah.
Eugh!
That looks like an AI-generated image.
It's not playable, no way.
- And it- I don't know how it's- no way. - Where does your neck go?
You'll get stabbed.
You'll get stabbed, and it'll be so heavy!
Your shoulders will hurt.
- Yeah. - Oh, wow!
And you can't even bow on the strings!
It'd hit the sides.
True, you can't bow on the E string. Nah.
- Get out of here with this AI... - Not approved.
Yeah yeah, we don't need those type of instruments
in this talented Subreddit.
What?
Why?
Is that legit? 'Cause that's just like, bullying.
- I wouldn't imagine London to do something like that. - Yeah, I get it if you... if the person practices...
- Like 3 am. - 3 am every day.
But even then like, it shouldn't be to seize her instruments,
- 'cause she's just gonna buy another instrument and play it anyway. - Yeah.
So it doesn't achieve anything.
That's wild.
That's really crazy.
- (That's pretty funny!) - (Hehe!)
Aw!
The kitten likes your bow.
Yeah, at least that wasn't one of the cringey, old videos.
- True, true, true. - I was getting ready to be like, "Oh, which one is that one?"
Alright!
Thanks for watching, everyone!
Check out the link below, world tour's coming up very soon!
And I think London's almost sold out.
Berlin sold out.
Toronto and Vancouver, we added a second show,
so I think there's still some tickets left.
If you're from there, go check it out.
And as always, if you haven't practiced yet...
Go...
(Both) Practice.
