Hi guys!
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
As you can see, this is an awesome new setup!
Yeah!
We've changed our whole office.
Just kidding.
This episode is all about improvisation.
Can you see our shirts?
Interest—
Interesting.
Today we are...
Uh, we are doing a very special challenge video.
We're gonna challenge each other
to improvise and recompose,
on the spot,
the accompaniment part
to famous violin pieces.
This will test how
interesting
our improvisation prodigy skills are.
Check out the merch, yeah.
Oh, my legs.
(both) Scissors, paper, rock!
Oh, I win.
In Australia,
they do scissors, paper, rock the other way.
I'll play violin first.
Ooh.
All right.
Okay, so now you have to pick.
Okay.
Alright.
- Let's do it. - Alright.
So I know it's in G major.
- Uhh... - Hold on let me find it.
Okay, so it is...
Um...
How do we ge...
Okay.
But I need time, we need one—
We have one minute!
Uhh...
I know what I will do when I improvise.
- Alright. - Dude this is gonna be hard.
Wait, give me 30 seconds!
Alright, I'll practice while you're doing that.
That didn't...
Can you play it once slowly?
- Slowly? - Yeah.
Pick a tempo, and we go.
One, two,
one two three four, one!
No! Wait, wait, wait...
Take five.
Now, my turn.
I won't play it super fast, so.
You ready? Is that it?
Fastest pianist.
Fuck, just...
Well, that was it.
Alright, good job.
Guys, if it isn't clear already,
we are not prodigies.
Yeah.
Just to let you know.
Oooh, C minor.
I think the key
is we have to play it differently.
Because the same style of playing
requires the same type of accompaniment.
- That is true. Okay. - So to make it interesting we have to, like—
It's like a cover.
Ahh, wrong chord!
Ohh.
Landed on the right chord.
There you go.
Cool.
This is very very difficult.
What is it?
Mozart 3.
Oh, that's all right.
Am I allowed to change?
- Let's try with that, I'll change... - Okay, let's try. Okay, let's try.
You know what?
Screw this list, let's play stuff we know.
Yeah!
Sibelius violin concerto.
That's cool.
Yeah.
- Eddy: Can you just play the Tchaik? - Brett: Alright.
*inaudible*
This is what you guys have expected!
This combo, this piece,
Eddy on the piano, there we go. Alright.
First movement or third movement?
- Nah let's go with first. Okay. - First movement.
All right!
There you go, guys.
Well thank you so much for watching!
We encourage you guys to improvise.
- It's a skill that classical musicians - Telepathy.
- don't really practice, evidently. - Yeah.
May interesting be with us.
Mm.
Interesting!
