Hello, welcome to another episode of Twoset Violin!
Today- That's right,
you've seen our previous sight reading videos.
This time, we're gonna work...
TWOgether to play...
TWOets.
There's gonna be 5 levels.
And then we're gonna draw from the box,
and decide who plays first or second violin.
Of course we all know first is easier.
Alright.
Since you drew it, you're playing level- first violin.
What?! Okay.
Level 1 sight reading challenge!
And we-
Gotta stop when we play a wrong note.
Keep going?
Yeah.
Oh...
- Dude, there was some little parts there, but that's okay. - Yeah.
- Alright. - Sounds alright.
- Okay, F sharp, G major. - Yeah.
What?
I guess that's right.
That was so weird.
- There was weird harmonies. - I guess it's Bartók!
- Yeah. - Hahaha! That makes sense.
Cool!
Level 1, too easy, guys!
Dude, is this level 2 already?
Left hand pizz?
Are you serious?
Oh, you're so screwed!
Dude, is that actually left hand pizz!!?
Bro... oh... okay, I'm screwed.
Nah.
*shriek*
- Oh f*** - C sharp?
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Duh...
See, I played C sharp cos you're playing C sharp,
but there's no C sharp.
Editorial problem? I don't know.
- Alright, next one. - Next one.
What was that?
Wow, messing up, man.
- Oh, you went half- doub- half time. - Yeah.
Not an excuse,
but I was thinking my violin was out of tune,
- It happens, yeah. - and then that got me. Cos I was...
Cos the whole time I was like...
I was like "It's so out of tune!"
Dammit!
- Oh my god! Why is second violin harder? - Dude, it looks so hard!
Whoa...
Go on?
Oh, going on, yeah.
Oh my god!
Wow!
We made it!
Your part was so hard.
- Dude, I panicked. - I saw your part, and I started to panic.
I was like "No, Brett, focus!"
- Alright. - That was challenging actually.
Okay, cool, level 3. What's the next one?
That was very...
FUCHS!
Oh my god.
AH!
AHHH!!
Ah... I forgot the F, ah...
That was actually kinda nice.
Sorry.
Sorry guys.
That one was on me.
Alright, level 4.
Okay.
Pff!! Oh my god, contrapuntal?
- Oh... god... - Oh, it's...
Contrapuntal, guys, is like the next-
It's basically-
I can't even explain.
It's like melody and another melody on top.
Oh, that's pretty fast, man.
That was too fast! That was too fast.
That was too fast!
Dammit, I was on a flow!
I was like keep going.
No, I wanna try again.
I screwed up, but keep going!
Nah.
Okay.
That's enough for that one.
With sight-reading, you literally have like one chance
to look ahead.
And you just gotta like...
know- believe what you see...
...is right.
- Yeah, I second guessed myself. - ...is right.
- I was like "Is that an F or an A?" - Yeah, and then-
If you second guess yourself, you're in trouble!
Cos then you start to thinking about "oh my god-"
Oh, it's adagio.
Okay.
Nice.
Page-
This is the page turn. It doesn't count, guys.
It doesn't count, guys, okay.
- 13? - Yeah.
It's a harmonic.
- Haha, the harmonic threw you off! - F***ing hell.
- Let's skip to last line. - Okay.
- 21? - It's going to mess up. Yeah.
21, bar 21.
Oh man...
*sigh*
LOL!
- Haha, we failed. - LOL.
This is always fun.
- I know. - It's like being back in orchestra.
(both) What?!
Back in the days. Training.
Yeah, okay.
- I'm playing first violin, right? - Oh, that's a lot of accidental-
Oh yeah, nice, nice.
I'll just chill.
Oh...
Dude, I might mess up before you even make it in.
- I think I played a wrong note. - I'm playing lots of wrong notes.
It's such a...
- That's a weird piece. - interesting... piece.
- Let's try that again! - Yeah, okay, let me try again.
I'll just go.
Oh, f***!
What?!?!
Oh, okay.
It was getting there.
- Yeah, anyway. - That's a lot of accidentals.
Oh my god!
Dude, oh my god!

Wow...
Alright, crochet equals 92.
Oh, that's fast!
Dude, I messed up already.
- Let's beat the downbeats - Yeah, yeah.
cos I literally had no idea where you were.
Oh, I went half time!
Sorry, let's go from the...
Alright no, we got this, we got this.
It's actually not that bad. It's not that bad.
3, 4...
