*shrieks*
"Hello?"
Hello, everyone.
So today we have a very special episode
where we're going to call you guys on Discord.
Ask us a question. We're all yours.
"Are you able to play like your favourite song for me,"
"like on the violin?"
Okay, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Are you ready?
What's our favourite song?
Cool, there you go!
"Thank you!"
Alena, what question do you wanna ask?
"I don't know, I'm like so stressed."
"I don't know what to ask."
Oh, that's fine. We'll ask you a question then.
When did you start watching our videos?
"I saw you guys a lot on my recommended,"
"and then I just clicked."
"And I don't remember anything else."
"I just got really into the videos."
Ooh, that is awesome!
"Okay so my friend made me do this and like-"
Uh-huh.
- "Yeah, sorry." - Oh, is your friend there as well?
Hello, Kate's friend.
"Hello, people."
Hello, people.
Ask us any questions.
How do you memorize your pieces?
Basically, for me I was just too lazy as a kid
to grab my music from the other room.
So I would just try to figure it out.
And I think I trained my brain
to memorize things quicker.
I was kinda the same,
but I also memorize through blocks.
So I try and play through things as much as I can.
And then when I have a mental block,
I try to figure it out.
And if I can't figure if out, I go back to the music.
"I'm spooked"
"coz I've got shakier knees than the lightsaber guy."
- "I have to ask one question. Yes." - Ask us question-
"So, you guys always play on this kind of stuff."
"And you represent Ling Ling"
"from the community standpoint."
"How close are you,"
"or, can you theoretically,"
"or will you metaphysically reach"
"the state of Ling Ling?"
"Brett's erased from that coz he does own a viola."
Oh man...
- "Yeah yeah." - That is a very philosophical question.
I think, first of all, you need to understand how you can...
jump into the quantum realm.
We have to crack the time issue first of being able to
practice 40 hours a day.
I think scientists are working on it.
- Hahahaha! Yeah. - So we'll keep on the lookout.
- Mini Pudding. - Hi, Mini Pudding. Do you like pudding?
"Hi, umm..."
"It's the name of my plushie."
"Why..."
I love pudding.
You can ask us a question.
Ask us any question.
"Do you have any future plans for the channel?"
Ohh...
What's our plans for our channel?
- "Yes." - Mmm...
We will...
take over everyone's viola in the world.
Take over all the violists.
"Are you serious?"
Well, plans on videos...
- Keep making videos. - I don't know, just keep making videos.
Entertaining videos.
Good videos to watch.
Videos you guys would love.
We're all yours.
You can ask us one question, any question.
"Have you ever been angry at each other?"
Envy?
"Angry?"
Like a fight?
"Yes."
Well, did we had a fight-
We had to pick who can play the viola.
No, we're never angry.
We always work together well.
Yeah.
And we practice a lot.
I think we get stressed,
but I wouldn't say we get angry at each other.
Well, Victoria, you have one question to ask.
"I don't know what to ask you."
Or we can ask you questions then.
What's been your favourite part
about watching our videos?
"It's probably that you make me want to practice?"
"Because I..."
"This is my first year of learning."
That's awesome! Well, keep it up!
Best of luck!
- Practice 40 hours a day. - "Thank you."
Anton, you can ask us any questions you want.
Was it Tom or Anton?
"Which composer you would like to hang out,"
"and what you would ask them?"
I want to hang out with Debussy
- because not only do I love his music, - "Yes, nice."
but I think he's very...
an interesting guy because
he really changed the musical landscape at his time.
- "Nice, nice." - I would probably say...
something to Beethoven.
And just be like thank you.
- So you know your music is still here 200 years later. - Oh yeah!
I hope you're practicing, but for now,
you can stop practicing to ask us one question.
"Will you make album or record CD?"
Ooh...
Good question.
I would love to, but when we do it,
- That is the question. - we don't know.
(both) Kalyn!
Where are you right now?
"At home."
In which country?
"Garden Grove, California."
"When you guys do a new tour,"
"can you guys come to Anaheim, California?"
Anaheim!
Alright, we will jot that down.
"My friend Emily said that"
"violas are better than violins."
Aww, Emily...
Emily!
Trying to start a fight!
"What advice would you give to someone"
"who just started playing violin 2 weeks ago?"
I think you gotta think of the looong ruuun...
Yup.
Because violin is something that doesn't come quickly.
Tying to that,
the best thing you could probably do is to develop-
I know this sounds kinda cheesy,
but develop the love of practicing.
And enjoy that kind of tinkering in the practice room.
And trying to learn how to play this different instrument.
"So whose idea to start TwoSet Violin at the beginning?"
- Both of our ideas together. - Yeah.
We were kinda just talking actually.
It wasn't really official.
- We just wanted to try something different for fun. - Yeah.
"After you guys started TwoSet Violin..."
"Is there any fight between you two?"
- Fight! - No.
- No fights. I know! It's like- - A lot of people ask this question.
It's like they wanna see fights.
We never fight. I think we talk through a lot of things.
That's the most important part.
I need to go to toilet, man.
- I'll talk to this one when you go to the toilet. - Okay.
So, you have one question. What would you like to ask?
"Can I play a song for you guys?"
Ohh! Okay sure!
But then let's wait for Brett to come back then.
"I have a melodica with me right now."
"It's..."
- Alright! He's here, he's here. - I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!
- Alright, let's do it. - "Oh boy, Brett!"
*melodica playing*
Hey.
- Dude! Yeah! - "Hahaha! Thanks!"
What is that piece?
"Song of Storms, from The Legend of Zelda."
- "I don't know if it's copyrighted." - I knew it was Zelda!
- "Yeah!" - I was thinking that.
I was like it sounds like Zelda.
"My question is"
"What is the one thing that the other one does"
"that annoys you the most?"
- Man, everyone keeps asking this type of question! - Oh, I swear they’re plotting in that chat right now!
Yeah, they must be!
*groans*
I got one, you ready?
Alright, go.
Eddy smells.
Aww...
*snickers*
I'm sorry.
It's so sad...
Do I actually?
Why would you say that?
Hurt my feelings, bro!
Alright, what do I not like about Brett?
He doesn't have perfect pitch.
OoOHhhHhHHh!!!
"Got you there."
Damn, I'm sorry.
- Okay. - Wenxing, you can ask us any question.
"Do you guys get into any *inaudible*"
"and how do you resolve it?"
What is with this?
You're the 4th person that asks us this question.
No, I don't think we have fights.
I think there's times that we might get stressed.
And we might feel pissed, but we never really fight.
We try to talk through problems.
- Hi, Anna! - Alright, I'm out.
"Hi."
Oh!
Hello!
How are you?
*shrieks*
"Hello?"
Hi!
Nice to meet you.
- I'm not here. I'm not here. It's okay. - Brett is here.
Goodbye.
"Eddy, wait waiT WAIT DON'T GO!! Please don't."
"Please."
No one, no one loves me. It's okay.
That's how I feel most of the time when they're like
"BRETT!!"
- BRETT!! - "Oh, oh, oh oh oh!"
"Eddy, hi, I love you!"
"Oh, Eddy Eddy Eddy,"
"can you please... oh, I'm sorry."
Yes?
"Please play Happy Birthday song"
"for my birthday this year?"
- Play Happy Birthday? Alright, okay. - Happy Birthday. Okay.
"Thank you! I love you!"
- Thank you... - Thank you!
Alright!
- I love you, too. - Talk soon!
But you don't love me but that's okay I love you, too.
Hello, Lily!
*plays Windows shutdown sound on the recorder*
What!? HAhaAhaHaha!!!
Oh, that was so good!
You were planning that, weren't you?
"My question was"
"Why did you guys start a classical music channel like this?"
"Like what was your inspiration?"
Our inspiration was...
We weren't good enough to
win the competitions over the prodigies,
so we made YouTube videos instead.
Nah, I... actually...
- Well, kinda true but not really. - Oh, the-
- The inspiration was... - The pain.
I don't know, we were just...
- I think we like to mess around. Yeah. - We watched YouTube videos,
we like to mess around.
And we kinda put two and two together.
Well Nathan,
you can ask any question for the next minute.
"I have a question from my friend..."
"And he asked"
"Will we ever see the rest of the Bach concerto in E minor?"
(both) Ohh...
Well yeah, maybe.
That might come actually.
Keep an eye out.
Ask us one question. We'll answer anything.
"When are you gonna come here?"
When are we gonna go to the Philippines?
- Oh, I would love to! - Ooh...
Hopefully, but I can't guarantee.
Next year.
- Nice to meet you. - "Can I speak Chinese?"
- Yeah, you can. - Alright, switch to Chinese.
Nice to meet you.
Do you have any other questions?
Are you guys coming to Beijing?
- Yes, we so wanna go there! - We'll go there someday for sure!
Do you have anything you want to ask us?
"Y'alls' favorite piece to play of like all time."
Y'alls.
(both) Y'alls!
- I miss hearing that y'alls. - *giggles*
In United States, everyone says it in the south.
Y'alls!
To play...
Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms.
"Woah, cool!"
It's just fun to play.
"I like that one."
I think I go through phases, to be honest.
But my current one...
Actually, this is funny because I haven't even learnt it.
But the opening to Prokofiev's 1st Concerto.
Ah!
I just play it, even though I'm not learning it.
"Where did you guys get the inspiration,"
"particularly for like this intersection of like"
"YouTube and classical music?"
That is such a well articulated-
It's like...
- I feel like I'm in a market research degree in university. - I know.
Analysis.
To be honest,
I don't think we really thought about it that much.
Yeah, I think it was kinda just like us.
- Yeah. - We like to have fun with classical music.
- Yeah. - And it's a great place
where we can just like be ourselves.
And there's less pressure of trying to
fit in certain formalities.
"If you weren't doing violin, and not piano,"
"what other instrument could you see like"
"I don't know, could you see yourself in a position playing?"
I would play the cello.
Ohh!
- Yeah. - I don't know, maybe I'd conduct.
Oh, nice one!
Nah, I would compose!
- Ah, even better! - That's what I would do.
You're lucky last.
You have one minute to ask us a question.
"I don't have any question but"
"Do you guys get mad at each other?"
- WHAT? - WHAT!?
- Yeah. - Everyone asked that!
- We should just have one- yeah. - I think people just wanna know
- Yeah, we fight so much, man. - if we fight.
- I punch, Eddy kicks. - Huh DAH DAH!
- Hootcha! Hootcha! - Dah dah!!
No, we don't fight.
We get stressed. We don't fight.
But when we get stressed,
we kind of contain it together.
We kinda work through.
We talk to each other about it.
And that's how we get through things.
So we never fight.
That was the most concise answer.
Yeah, and we just play angry music.
Grr! To let out our emotion.
That's why we're musicians.
That's a wrap, guys.
Please smash the subscribe button.
I need a break...
Alright, thank you!
We'll do it again in 2 million!
