Hello, welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Today we have a very, very special episode, called...
For those of you that have been to classical music concerts,
you will know it is sacrilegious to clap in-between movements.
That is right.
You only clap after the end of the entire piece,
and before the piece begins.
Today, we'll be training this impulse...
...to clap in-between movements.
Whenever the epic movement finishes,
but it's not the final one, we'll sit through this together,
and fight that urge to clap.
And if you have a friend that hasn't been to
a classical music concert,
show them this video so they can practice...
...and then they won't clap.
Yeah, just keep it together.
Yeah, just keep it inside.
*groans*
Ohh, that was awkward...
- She was like...did you see that? She was like... - She's like—she's like...yeah she's like...
- "Guys, not now." - "Don't clap...!"
The audience lost.
Such...uncultured audience.
But we didn't clap, so.
Did you clap? Or did you...
...lose?
Yeah, I want to watch that hand again,
that was so awkward.
Ohhhhhhh!!!!
Her hand's just like, "Stop...! Urgh..."
"Stop. Stop! Oh, no...!"
That's in the Royal Concertgebouw...
- Is it? - In Amsterdam, yeah.
So it's like a really prestigious venue.
- It's like the Carnegie Hall, but in Netherlands, in Amsterdam. - Oh...
Not bad.
- There is an urge to clap though, there is, huh, 'cause it's so... - Yeah...
...grandios—
Grandious—is that even a word?
So grand that...you wanna like, "Yeah!"
- I don't know...yeah. - Did you clap?
Or did you...
- Awkward smile... - Yeah...
I love how it just goes...
Yeah...it's just like, "Alright..."
It's a tricky situation.
- So you want to show your... yeah. - Appreciation.
There's meant to be silence between the movements, to kind of...
- Yeah. - Let the sound kind of just...
What was it a composer said,
"It's the silence in-between the notes that matters."
Was it Mozart?
- Debussy...? - Debussy or someone.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm. - There is a composer that said that.
Dude!
Dude, that was huge! *chuckles*
For those of you who don't know,
he's a violinist that end in the Sibelius Concertos all as octaves.
- That was huge! - And the fact you can hear him over the orchestra,
that is insane!
- Oh I had to hold myself back there. - Yeah, literally.
Oh...
This is like...that is like world-class level.
That was sacrilege.
Nah, they're just having fun.
Is it actually in the music to clap there?
- I mean it's a tradition, everyone claps in that piece, but... - Yeah.
I don't think so.
*inaudible*
If you clap for that piece in a actual performance,
I guess it's okay,
but since this is a training video...
...were you able to resist?
Oh, I love this bit.
- That was a hard one. - Yeah.
It was a cool concerto.
But they all lost.
Did you clap?
Imagine they all just go...
Yeah, everyone's just like...
You know, like every seat has like, a slapping machine...
*chuckles* Yeah!
A hand comes out,
- "It's only first movement!" - Don't...
*laughs*
Oh, I remember this part!
- I played it. Everyone's...and the conductor's like, - Yeah, everyone always claps...
"No!!!"
- Every time I perform this piece they always clap. - Yeah.
*groans*
The infamous troll from Tchaikovsky, what a prank.
Ending the third movement like a last movement.
- And the last movement is like a... - It's a slow...
- Slow...second movement. - What a...
