Hey, how's it going?
Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Very I N T E R E S T I N G episode
where we're going to be
paying homage to the brass gang today.
Hello, brass players.
This video is for you.
Yeah.
And so what we're gonna do today,
we will be sight reading 10 levels
of brass orchestral music.
Usual rules:
The moment we play one wrong note,
we have to stop.
And I think we're gonna spice it up a little bit.
So we're going to be sight reading
to an actual recording of the orchestral piece.
It's more contextual for you guys to understand
how brass players fit in to the whole picture
- of orchestral music. - Yes.
- Scissors, paper, rock. - Scissors, paper, rock.
- Scissors, paper, rock! - Scissors, paper, rock.
Scissors, paper, rock!
I win!
I'll go first.
Oh, dammit!
Yeah, you get the hard ones.
So annoying!
First one is...
L'Arlesienne Suite No.1 by Bizet.
- Third movement. - Okay.
Here we go.
Nice. You nailed that.
Yeah, it wasn't too bad.
Aced this level 1.
Symphony No. 5, Mahler.
First trombone part in the Adagietto.
Wow. I was really enjoying the music.
That was a little bit harder.
It was hard 'cause there was a lot of tempo changes.
- Yeah. - Rubato.
So I had to make sure my...
...tacet was in time.
Yeah, you had to tacet on time.
Tacet in time!
T.I.T!
Tacet in time.
Easy!
Sight reading skills is
I N T E R E S T I N G !
Dude!
That was so good. It was so nice!
- I think this is the best sight reading challenge we've done. - I know.
- Haven't played a single wrong note yet. - Yeah.
Nothing has went wrong.
Dude, was John Cage a brass player?
Alright.
Dude, do they just get paid just to do nothing?
Wanna get the bang for your bucks?
Brass players.
Three movements, they don't have to do anything.
Dude, it's so nice!
- I've never nailed La Mer like this in my life. - Yeah.
It's always been so hard.
I'm actually just enjoying the music now.
- That's what brass players do, just enjoy the music. - I know.
They're getting free concerts
- at rehearsals. - Oh, that's so good!
Oh...
Nice.
Dude, you just sight read two whole movement just then.
That's crazy.
There's so much breaks.
I know.
I forget how many breaks they–
No, I didn't even realise how many breaks they have
- 'cause I'm always busy playing. - Yeah, 'cause we are always playing.
String players are always playing.
Wait, I gotta count this.
Oh, that's the next...
I miscounted.
It's like "Oh, I miscounted!"
Where are the two notes?
Oh, sh**.
Nah, this is hard!
*shoulder rest drops*
Wrong notes!
You forgot the sharps!
You messed up!
- You forgot the key signature! - I forgot the key signature!
And bro, that was the weakest fortissimo ever!
Oh wow.
- Dude, level 9 got me. - That was too funny.
I guess that is pretty much a lot of pressure.
'Cause you can't mess up like me!
Imagine a brass...
What clef is that?
Alto.
I don't know.
That's...
D.
No.
Bro...
No...!
AH!!
- Something's not right. - It sounded so off!
Can you imagine orchestra rehearsal?
And just...
And discovered...
The trombone just go...
Wow, we both got owned. Level 9 and 10.
If there is a note in the brass section,
it automatically becomes highest level.
Yeah...!
Anyway guys, point proven!
I think brass players have a role to play in orchestras.
