Would you rather play on the g-string forever or the e-string
if you know what I mean ;)
Hello to twosetters, welcome to another video. Now we made a post 24 hours ago
Send us "would you rather's" and we will answer it in 24 hours
precisely on the dot. Except by the time we edit this video,
it would probably be 240 hours already.
yeah probably, but at least we...filmed it.
Would you...now the question we posted for everyone was
Would you rather poop on stage or play the viola for the rest of your life?
Poop on stage.
"this is too hard"
"I pick poop on stage"
"Obviously play viola..."
"Poop on stage"
"Play viola obviously, viola is my jam, my ketchup, my mayo"
"Can I choose play violin naked?"
First one
By Ichina Parker, would you rather play slightly out of time forever or slightly out of tune forever?
Out of time.
Eddy: Actually you know, Brett: Depends, depends
Eddy: but practically speaking though I already play out of tune forever-
But depends on the context, right?
If you play out of time, arguably you can never play chamber music
I'll play out the time. I'd rather play out of time.
No one's gonna want to play with you if you can't play in tune.
If you play in tune and out of time, you can still get like, a solo career.
And people will just like, play to you
If you play out of tune, you're not gonna get any gigs.
Brett: Yeah, that's true.
You just can't be an orchestral player but you can still be a soloist.
Alright next one, by Melody Morrison.
Would you rather
audibly fart while performing a delicate, pianissimo section of a Beethoven sonata,
or pee your pants during the first movement of a Mahler Symphony as Concertmaster
Eddy: Audibly fart?
Brett: Yeah, I'll...
Eddy: Peeing would involve like, dirtying the stage.
Brett: I'll, I'll...fart.
Because, dude, you're the Concertmaster.
Farting's kind of funny too. I think people would laugh
I'll probably just be like, "Can't help it"
But peeing is like,
[mumbles]
Actually there is a story, but we'll tell you later.
Would you rather be tone deaf but be a prodigy, or be perfect pitched but literally trash at any instrument
Ah, that's a good one
Would you rather
Tone deaf, tone deaf!
You can't actually be tone deaf and a prodigy, technically
but, BUT, if it was possible, yes.
Would you rather smash your colleague's Strad in front of them
So you're saying would you rather smash your colleague
Yeah, hahahahahaha
Which one
Or, push them down the stairs and they break all their limbs, but they don't know it was you
Oh! What the
Oh! That's some dark [bleep]
James!
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
*drumroll*
Brett: You first
Eddy: If I had a million dollars I' d smash his Strad, so I don't go bankrupt into debt
But imagine if I actually had to do it, and then they like sued me for a million dollars
Then I'll show them this post and be like James Dong said -
WOULD YOU RATHER
My first inclination is like "oh no no"
But then it's like would I live with that, can I sleep on that?
Yeah, exactly
I don't think I could.
Actually I'll probably not be sleeping, and that will be more damage to me
than actually breaking the strad
That's cause you're low on the machiavellian scale
But if you're above 50 percent, then you'll probably push him
Yeah, that's true
Take the Dark Triad test!
Would you rather dedicate your life
to learning the intricacies of the beAuTifUL instrument known as the viola
BEAU-
beAu
TI
FUL
instrument known as the viola, or be able to live as an actual member of society?
obviously
learn the beautiful intricacies
of living in society
Would you rather
Watch the entire Ring Cycle with no breaks
or listen to Pachelbel's Canon for 8 hours straight?
Ring Cycle.
same
Would you rather date a girl that is ok looking,
has a terrible attitude
But plays violin really really nice
or date a super hot and nice girl that plays the viola.
Oh, that's a good one.
Did you assume I like girls?
*birds chirping*
Would you rather, Ichina Parker, would you rather play the best you'll ever play during rehearsal
but never at performance so you keep getting bad reviews
or play amazingly during performance but nobody comes
:O
First one, obviously
Yeah, first one. That's so sad!
Would you rather destroy all the Strads in the entire world
Or everyone else has one and you have the cheapest violin ever made?
Dude, how do you guys come up with these questions?
Eddy: I'll give Strads to everyone
Brett: I'll take the latter. Yeah, same.
*Eddy gasps*
I'm gonna sing music while you find the next one
Would you rather have your phone
Eddy's losing it
Too much Black Panther today
You do not know de wey
I show you de wey
Would you rather have your phone ring
during a Mahler symphony quiet moment
or tune to an A flat instead while the orchestra tunes to an A natural
The last one.
Yeah, what he said
Would you rather clap before Tchaik 6, Tchaikovsky 6 Finale,
Or scream in the Firebird?
Both have been done before, haven't they?
*BOOM*
*scream*
I'd rather...
Brett: I'd rather clap
Eddy: I'd rather scream in the Firebird
That's our first disagreement
Let's make it happen
Would you rather play on the g-string forever or the e-string
If you know what I mean ;)
Would you rather play the viola perfectly every time
or never be able to play a violin in tune again?
I think this question
reflects the larger question
which is generally, which violinist chooses to become violist as their occupation
Because, technically if you can play the violin semi-well,
you're automatically the best violist in the world
*ding*
Yes. Depends on if you need to pay your rent
Would you rather play the oboe or make reeds...wait...
haaAA!
Would you rather date a girl who plays a viola or a girl that plays a piccolo?
Miranda!
Brett: piccolo
Eddy: I would date neither
Again. Stop assuming I like girls
Would you rather play the snare drum part of Ravel's Bolero,
or the cello part of Canon in D?
Snare drum all the way!
Do you know how much glory and recognition this snare drum guy gets for Bolero?
Is that the main part?
It's the *tsst tsst tsst*
Oh yeah, yeah
I did a concert once where they made the snare drum guy stand in front like a soloist
All right, I think that's it for today
Would you rather play a viola or eat a violin?
