"If I play..."
"with one wrong note,"
"you can pick any piece."
"And if I play one wrong note,"
"you can punish me for the rest of the semester."
"Wow, I'm not worthy of a musician anymore"
"if I play o n e w r o n g n o t e!!"
"Music is all about playing every note accurately."
"One wrong note in the 9000th measure?"
"Out!"
Obviously, we've been reviewing some dramas
where there's this kinda idea...
"Music is about playing all the right notes."
Yeah.
So I think I read a comment, someone was like
"You guys should try to play..."
"all right notes, but zero musicality."
So what we're gonna do is...
We've got 6 pieces here,
and we're gonna take turns and draw them out.
One person will play it how we normally play it, so-
Musically...
Music is subjective,
but we'll try to play how we would play.
- To make it tasteful. - Yes.
The other person will be playing it
with zero wrong notes...
OoOooh...
...but zero musicality.
Whoaaa...
Just to show you guys out there
what it means when we say
"Music is more than just playing the right notes!"
Wow...
Scissors, paper, rock!
I want to...
play properly first.
Wait, properly as in like music?
- Yeah, the music. Well, yeah... - Okay.
Depends which standard we're going by.
Bach.
Have fun with Bach!
Adagio!
- The Holy Grail. - Guys, music is subjective. Don't judge!
Judge him, guys!
Place your judgement!
Alright, guys. Non-musical version.
No, there wouldn't be vibrato. Is that...
- Oh, it doesn't really matter. Yeah. - Doesn't matter cos it's all just the right note.
Yeah.
It's so hard!
And it's so f-
I can tell you're like
- your muscles want to play it musically. - Yeah, I was-
Halfway through I was like
"Just..."
"Play the notes. Don't do anything to it."
"Keep the bow speed the same."
"The vibrato just... Smash it in like..."
- "Don't even think about it." - Yeah.
There you go.
- 100% right notes. - Did you hear the difference?
Alright, your turn to play.
Mendelssohn Concerto 1st mov-
Mhahaha!
Nice.
Oh, by that standard, all the right notes!
WOO!!
aMAzInG!
But it's still right note even though the tone was bad, right?
- Yeah, it's still right notes. Right notes. - It's still right note. It'll still be.
I would've passed cos I played all the right notes.
Oh god...
No, I don't want this one!
Ysaÿe!!
Ahhh...
I'm gonna have fun with this one.
I don't need to play right notes though,
- I just need to have musicality. - Yeah!
*laugh*
That's true.
Musicality.
Oh.
You played a wrong note! Ahaha!
It takes focus!
Trying to like- where you wanna mess-
change with the sound.
- Saint-Saëns! Introduction et Rondo Capriccioso. - Oh nice.
Oh, that's fine.
Oh dude, first position!
Dude!
It sounds so bad!
Wow!
Right notes, guys.
- Ah nice. - Dude, the-
- Like just first position changes the whole game. - Yeah.
It doesn't even sound like Saint-Saëns anymore.
- Yeah. - It's like...
- Sounds like a midi file, right? - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oof, Mozart.
- Oh, I get all the stylistically hard ones! - Oh... that's hard!
Mozart and Bach are the ones that...
infamously like...
Like it's-
- Musically challenging. - ...musically so challenging.
You can spend a whole lifetime on it.
Oh no...
Dude, at least you played like...
a light and sense of vibrato, man.
- Oh yeah, I forgot about vibrato. - You could've just spammed the vib.
I know, yeah.
Oh, I should have, hey.
Alright, last one.
- Tchaikovsky for you. - Okay.
Yeah.
Guys, how good was that?
There you go.
If you want to hear the rest of it,
Tchaikovsky drop reveal at 2 million subs.
Alright, my turn.
Dude, that was the opposite way!
Dude!
Right notes!
Yeah, right note!
RiGhT nOtEs!
♪ rIgHt nOtEs! ♪
- Dude... - It's so CBF.
I know!
I'm imagining like... that...
Someone goes to a concerto gig with an orchestra,
and just plays like that.
- Imagine- - Imagine the outrage just in the orchestra,
and the conductor's like...
- "Dude, what the **** is going on?!!" - The audience-
But by that "right note" definition,
you're still playing the right notes.
- Yeah, it's the right notes. - Doesn't matter.
There's no quality about it,
there's no musical phrasing about it.
You can like...
I forgot you can actually screw notes up.
It's the right note, yeah!
There's no need to be good tone.
Tone isn't the right note, right?
Mozart was hard, too, actually.
- We've been trained so hard... - To train, to just instinctively feel the rhythm rather than-
It's like a wind player trying to breathe in the wrong place.
- But- - Maybe for you.
I actually found it hard to play musically as well.
- I was like freaking out. - Oh the Mozart's hard. Mozart's hard...
- Mozart's hard though. - Yeah, I was like "AhHhhH..."
Anyway guys,
I think we've made our point clear.
Obviously, you have to play as many right notes as you can,
but usually it's forgiven.
And music is all about the music.
It's not about the fastest,
- and now it's not about the right notes. - Yeah.
2 mil reveal Tchaik!
2 mil drop Tchaik!
- Drop. - Hit the sub button.
- BANG! TwoSet! - Bam!
