Hey, how's it going?
Welcome back to another very special episode of TwoSet Violin!
And of course, we are joined with the violin goddess, Hilary Hahn!
Today, we got a really, really exciting game that we came up with.
We have two wheels here.
One wheel has 10 emotions,
and the other wheel has 10 composers on [it].
We spin the wheels,
and whatever combination it lands on,
the player standing here has to play the piece with that emotion.
Then, the two guessers on this side
will have to then try and guess the correct emotion,
and if you guess correctly, the guesser gets a point,
and so does the player!
- "Emotional Charades"! - Yeah...!
- Scissors, paper, rock! - Scissors, paper, rock!
Scissors, paper, rock!
- Ah, you're playing first! - Oh no! Why is it...?
- (Brett) Okay... - Uh oh...
- Uh oh... - Okay!
Uh, yeah. Okay!
- I think I got one. - Yeah.
I like the double-downs.
- (Eddy) Anger, right? - Yeah, anger!
- Yeaaaaah! - Yeah, nice!
- "Angry Spring"! - Yeah, "Angry Spring"!
Scissors, paper, rock!
Oh, I'm next!
- Here we go! - Ooh...
(Hilary) Okay...
What do we do with this combo?
- (Brett) Woah, ooh! - Looking at the wheel...
Ooh, okay! I think I've got one.
(Eddy) I think I got one as well.
- Mhm! - Disgust?
- Mhm! But... - Oh, I thought "disgust" at first! No! - Yeah! Wooooo!
But they're very related.
- Yeah, ahh... - Yeah. -Yes.
- I was also tossing up between frustration... and disgust. - Yeah... - (Hilary) Yeah.
- Ah dude, my hand is so cold! - I know!
Just clarifying, everyone, it's winter in Sydney!
(Eddy) Ooh!
(Eddy) Almost broke it.
- (Eddy) Okay! - (Hilary) Okay, okay.
- Is "Heifetz" an emotion? - What...?
I think...
- Anger. - Ohhhh noooooo! - Yes!
- Anger, yes! - Ohhhh noooooo! - Yes!
Yeah, I thought, "Maybe it sounded like frustration",
- so I was trying to... - But it was the...
But I think the anger at the end really...
- (Eddy) Yeah. - Anger showed at the end, right?
- I tried to make it a bit more explosive. - (Hilary) Uh huh...
- Yes, yes. The explosive ending. - Yeaaaaaah that's true.
Yeaaaah...
- Paganini! - Oh hahahaha!
That's why my face was just like, "Ohh..."
- Okay... - Uh oh, I don't like this...
I can see you're very cold!
It's very cold!
I'm reading, like, fear and joy and love and...
- I wanna see the list of emotions. - Okay... okay.
Should I play again?
- Yes, please. - Yeah. - (Brett) Okay.
- I can't tell... - I have no idea!
- C'mon guys, I need a point! - (Hilary) Do you have...
- Uh, you can go first. - Yeah? Okay.
Ooh! I'm guessing...
- No? Way off? - Who's gonna tell us?
It was joy!
Bro! You did not look happy at all!
I felt more fear than joy!
- (Brett) Ooh! - (Eddy) Ooh, nice!
- (Brett) It's so weighted. - (Eddy) Yeah.
(Hilary) Hm hahaha!
Oh no...
- Oooooh! - I think I know.
- Added a little improv for dramatic impact. - (Eddy) Yep... mmm!
- Hahaha, yes! - Yeah! It was just like...
- But I could tell the frustration even before your little improv. - Okay.
Like, from the sound.
I was like, "I have to make it different from disgust..."
- Yeaaaah! - Yeaaaah!
Yeah, it was like...
- a little bit agitated, like, "Ugh!" - Yeah.
Alright...
- Ohohoho! - Okay!
- (Brett) Ohohoho! - (Hilary) A challenge is set...
(Hilary) What is this?
(Eddy) Hahahaha!
I feel like that was a whole style,
and I feel like this is a whole mood.
Was that you, or you're trying to put something on?
- Mmm hm hm! - That's a tough one...
That's what I mean- I'm like...
- Can you give us one more... one more phrase? - Yeah, maybe one more...
I- I'm guessing...
I so want to know what surprise would be like that I'm just gonna say...
...because I like it as an emotion.
- I don't know how to feel about those guesses... - (Hilary) Is there a third one?
Is there a third one?
I honestly don't know how to feel about...
- It was fear! - It looked... - Fear!
Ohhhh!
- No! I kn- okay, I knew... - I don't actually sound like that! Noooo! - (Hilary) Ohh...
I thought surprise, because you looked surprised
at what was coming out of your instrument.
- (Hilary) Like, you were doing surprising things... - Oh, okay. - (Brett) Yeah!
I thought fear, but I was like,
- "No, I think Eddy's bow would start shaking if it was fear." - That's what I was [thinking]!
- It was shaking! - Oh!
- Was it not obvious? - No. - No, it was like...
The whole time, I was just hoping like...
you guys got that it was fear,
and you didn't think that was how I actually play.
- 'Cause I'm also like... - No, I didn't think that was how you play.
Yeah, it was just funny!
Okay...
(Brett) Ooh...
- I have a guess... - I have a guess too.
- You go first this time, though. - I think...
I was gonna say love too.
It was romantic, and you seemed comfortable.
It was love!
- Ayeeeee, nice! - Woo! Yes! - Woaaaah! So impressed!
(Hilary) Umm... okay.
- Ugh, I'm so cold! - Yeah, it's cold!
- Should we just- like, warm up? - (Eddy) Yeah, yeah!
Can you play more?
- Oh okay... - Ooh!
So cold!
- That has got to be... - I... ooh!
Alright, I think I know, but you go first.
- Yeah, it has to be joy, right? - Yes.
- Yeah! - Ohhhhh....
- The third movement of the concerto is too obvious, you know? - Yeah! That's- that's the... - Yeah yeah yeah yeah...
And then how can I do joy in the...
...and also too cold.
- Yeah! It's too cold. - (Eddy) Yeah, yeah, yeah...
- (Eddy) Ah, not again... - (Hilary) Hahahaha!
- What'd you get? - Prokofiev.
- Prokofiev, hahahaha! - Ahaaa! - I feel a bit like, "I don't know if I..."
- We're gonna stay on theme here! - I feel a bit like, "I don't know if I..."
(Eddy) Okay.
- Hahaha, yes! Yes! - Dude!
- Dude... - I get my wish!
- Hahahaha, yes! - Now I know!
- Yeah! That's Eddy's "surprise"! - Now I know how to do surprise!
- Surprise! - Surprise! - Yeah, surprise! Nice!
- Yay! - Points all round! - Woo!
Right now, me and Hilary are tied,
so we're doing a tie breaker,
and Brett's gonna play.
- Ooh, I'm gonna make this one hard! - The pressure is on!
You have a slight advantage,
because you can read, like, every expression.
- I'm gonna make it really good! - Oh really? I mean, I can look this way... - No no no! No, no...
Umm...
- Who's the composer? - Oh yeah! Brahms.
- (Hilary) Okay, okay. - Ooh! Okay, okay, okay...
For me, there's two it could be...
- I'll do it again. - Give us one... I narrowed it down to two.
I'll try and play a little bit better.
- (Hilary) That's so... - That's so different!
- (Eddy) Did you... - That's a totally different one!
- But if it's the same word, it narrowed it down for me. - Oh, okay...
I'm confused now.
I thought I knew, but now I don't know.
I'm making their life hard.
- Okay, one more please. - I'll play something else.
- Okay. Surely it is... - I'm gonna hang my hat on one,
because I heard a nice, little slide in there.
It was like a really good slide...
- It was a very good slide! - So I'm gonna say...
- Oh! I thought... - What did you have?
Aww...
- (Eddy) Tie breaker time! - That's a dramatic sadness...
Sadness!
- Woaaaaaaaah! Waiiiiiiii... - Aaaaaaaaaye!
- Because your Brahms sounded sad- nah, just kidding! - To be honest, I was... yeah!
Dude, I was scared!
I was like... I forgot the notes in the concerto!
- They're kinda similar though... - Those are sad chords...
- Yeah... yeah! - There's a sadness to nostalgia, right?
I thought your Bach was almost nostalgic.
- Nostalgic to my uni days, I guess? - (Brett) Yeah!
