Hello, welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin. Today we have a very
exciting game show to follow up on the very,
very popular game show called...
*laughs*
It doesn't even have a name.
The name will be called "Classical Musicians—
no no, oh wait, "How to—
oh, "The Ling Ling Workout".
*celebratory sound effect*
Basically, what we do is we select eight different challenges or handicaps for us to play certain different
pieces of violin repertoire. Now we have eight
challenges today, few of them are the same, but many of them are new and fresh, so let's go through them. First one...
Swap your left and right hands.
Which we did last time.
By the way, for those non musicians out there, if there's any of your out there,
violin is always one sided, there is no left hand or right hand.
Yes, you can't get a left-handed violin yet.
The new one is uh,
Play while lying down.
This is a weird piece of advice that some people offer in masterclasses. I've seen it before so
Let's see how that works. Third one, another classic, play in Lindsey Stirling dance style. Fourth one,
Play up two octaves.
Transpose it up two octaves. Fifth one,
Play it all on the c-string—
*coughs* *chokes* VIOLA!
Or on the g-string.
Number six is play only with the first finger.
Seven is play in Baroque style, with the whole tuning down a semitone, and last but not least,
Play everything double speed.
So we will be putting this in this pouch, and the pieces are in this pouch.
All right.
Scissors Paper Rock, who goes first?
Scissors, paper, rock!
*celebratory sound effect*
You go first.
So the piece is...
*drumroll* I don't know what these pieces are.
*laughs*
Sibelius: Violin Concerto 3rd movement.
GG.
Handicap is... *drumroll*
Ooooh.
Play it all on the g-string, straight away!
I had a feeling that was gonna happen.
*Plays Sibelius Violin Concerto 3rd movement*
It's meant to be on g-string, I already sound like crap, but...
*Plays Sibelius Violin Concerto 3rd movement*
That's too—that's too high
R.I.P.
- Next one! Your turn. - Ok, it's this one first.
*drumroll* Hai-ya!
Mozart Concerto no. 4!
It's alright.
It's alright! Yeah!
*drumroll* I don't like the first one, I don't like this one...
Double speed!
Ooooh
*clicks fingers* *humming entry of Mozart Violin concerto no.4 in double speed*
Alright, good luck
*Plays Mozart Violin Concerto No. 4 in double speed*
Dude this is hard
*laughs* *continues playing* *note squeaks*
*laughs* You broke down.
*Continues playing*
*clap*
Not bad.
*clap*
*clap* I rate it a...
It was pretty horrible.
Presto out of 10.
*clap*
*drumroll*
Wieniawski 2. Actually this is alright...
Ugh. *coughs*
Smells like rosin.
*drumroll* *laughs* This one!
- Play lying down. - Oh.
I've legit seen like, someone did this in a masterclass.
Off-screen: Masterclass.
Yeah, coz apparently it's good for your shoulders, relaxing your back.
*Plays Wieniawski Violin Concerto No. 2*
*Plays Wieniawski Violin Concerto No. 2* *chokes* My neck...
*continues playing*
*screech* Oh, what was that?
Off-screen: I don't know, what happened?
*sound of bow hitting sofa* Oh. *laughs*
*continues playing*
Feel like I'm gonna drop my violin like that.
Next one. *drumroll*
Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole.
*Drumroll*
Up two octaves.
How do you...
- You are... - I am...
- ...primordially screwed.
[inaudible] guys.
Are you serious?
Up two octaves!
How was that one?
*Plays Lalo Symphonie Espagnole up two octaves*
I can't make a sound. *continues playing*
Got it.
*continues playing*
*continues playing
Hey!
*continues playing
It didn't work... *laughs*
That was just tragic.
- I wonder if I'm gonna get Tsigane... - Oh crap, is that in there...?
*drumroll*
*laughs*
Tsigane!
That was not planned...!
Oh... I don't actually know it...
I put it in because I thought you knew that.
*laughs*
*drumroll*
Baroque Style.
Oh.
Well that's...that's offensive.
Here we go.
*Tuning violin down a semitone* Ugh.
Sounds like you're cracking a bone.
That's a good analogy.
*Tuning to baroque pitch*
That's baroque enough.
*Play's Ravel's Tzigane on Baroque pitch*
*plucks strings*
*continues playing with singing*
*continues playing*
But I can't shift up. It's Baroque.
*continues playing*
That's does...didn't expect it from you. *laughs* Next one!
When you uh...pick for yourself, it's...
*drumroll* gonna be a good piece.
Brahms Violin Concerto.
*drumroll*
Lindsey Stir...
Ohhhh yeah, that'd be epic!
But Brahms and Lindsey Stirling doesn't really work together. This is not supposed to work.
*Plays Brahms Violin Concerto in D minor*
*continues playing*
Alright that's enough.
Two more. *drumroll*
- Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. - Nice.
Oh I know what you'll have for last then.
*nervous laugh*
*drumroll*
- Only first finger! - Oh how was that one...?
*laughs* You have to tune it back up!
*Plays Mendelssohn Violin Concerto*
*snapping sound*
*laughs*
*drumroll* The last one is...
Ah! Tchaikovsky! Ok. Oh cadenza!
Um-hmm.
*drumroll* What's the last one?
- What is it? - Left/Right hand.
*laughs*
-That is really bad. - That is really, really bad.
*laughs*
Ling Ling can do it. Don't be Ling Ling.
Bro this is hard.
I think I swapped hands last time as well.
Yeah, it was you as well.
*plays*
Why does it sound so bad?
*plays broken Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto cadenza*
*bow hits waist of violin*
Ohh!
*continues playing*
Dude I can't.
- It sounds so bad. - It's so hard! - It sounds so bad. - It was just like... *laugh*
I'll just remind myself how it's supposed to go.
*plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto cadenza in tune*
Ah! *continues playing*
