@@sam1286 I find it easier to play back rather than forward. It's probably just a mental thing, though. Or visual: Sharps are prickly on the page, whereas flats are round and gentle.
I sent my friend a clip from the TwoSet Among Us video ("Maybe someone just keeps reading the wrong accidental." "But how? Two times." "Maybe they're just stupid.") and she said, "I mean it's not like a percussionist would understand 🙄✋" and I just about died laughing.
_"But the notes are too small.... It looks like an A... I got lost in the sheet music... excuse me, how do I play this? Is this a rest? Do I repeat this part?"_ - me to my (surprisingly patient) teacher every lesson
Well my last comment was 2 months ago and partly due to a convo thread with another TwoSetter but mostly thanks to two guys called Brett & Eddy, I'm now seriously considering it myself, Matt. Have done lots of online research and found a luthier who rents a violin for £17.50 a month! In the meantime I've constructed a bow 'end' to practice my hold so when I try out my eldest son's viola (that he was gifted but doesn't play) I'll have an idea of whether to make that start. Yes, insanely difficult but in 15yrs I should be well beyond 'Twinkle, twinkle' Lol
I took Up the violin when i was 48 now 57 years old and i can tell You unless you have Lots and lots of patience and preserverance there are dark days ahead. Actually even with those qualities it is no walk in the park Either. Depending on how much time you have Available to Practice roughly the first 5 years are the Hardest i wanted to quit often during Those 5 years. But it is one of those things where You Sound awful and then suddenly one day it all falls into Place and its magic!! The key ingredient needed here is the passion for the music that will male you push through.
I had suspected this, so I checked- Eddy's mistake at 5:14 is due to a misprint. The quarter and dotted quarter are supposed to be sixteenth notes as he played it, at least according to all the scores on IMSLP.
They've been playing violin for more than 20 years, including in orchestra and string quartets. Their brain is trained to compute what they hear very fast. Plus Eddy has perfect pitch, it makes it much easier for him to instantly detect notes that are out of tune.
Rey card imagine you see a color with your eyes, and you instantly know what color it is. You don’t have to think; you just go: “oh that’s blue because it’s blue.” From what I understand, perfect pitch is like that but with hearing notes. so like *rips a massive fart* someone with perfect pitch: “oh thats a G flat(ulence)”
I love how they started doing the exact same head movement when the notes got harder to play haha I always find it funny to look at when there's a whole orchestra doing this movement 😂❤
you guys are hugely entertaining and great energy, but all jokes aside your music is absolutely beautiful i'm baffled and you make me want to practise. you make me remember how rewarding musical theory really is... you are so talented and thank you for making videos. ive just found your channel and instantly subbed
Me a piano player: *is horrible at sight reading* My teacher: Really now, you can’t be that bad Me: just plays from memory and doesn’t look at music half the time
As a piano player, I must agree. In an online lesson yesterday, I had to sight read something, and i said to my teacher “but miss!!! I cant sight read these crazy chords in the bass AND the crazy melody AT THE SAME TIME!!!” She gasped and said “you’re a piano player you should be able to sight read treble and bass at the same time!”
Bc Eddy can be guided by his ear and perfect pitch if he’s remotely familiar with the piece and Brett can rely on muscle memory and good accuracy w/ sight reading 👌
these boys...they are just so adorably nerdy. pure simple joy for music and passion for the violin, they translate through the screen so profoundly no wonder they get not only subscribers but real honest fans.
You guys remember the Mozart symphony 16, I looked at the score and where eddy messed up, he didn’t, it was an editorial problem with that score he was looking at. So he would have kept going. Saved ya eddy
Some guy: So, your piece is in a key signature, right? Strauss: yeah Some guy: So, are you going to _use_ any of the notes in that key consistently? Strauss: lol nah
Its mad how good these guys actually are - I have a few years of piano playing and I cannot sight read piano to anywhere near this level.. Oh yeah they are also playing violin which is way harder to play than piano
I don’t play violin and I was one of those assholes in high school who ripped on band people. I mean this with utmost respect and honesty; you guys are two of the coolest people I have ever seen. The ability to comprehend and play sheet music on the fly, while remaining entertaining is a genius-level gift. Thank you guys for sharing this.

I love the delight you two have in the music and the playing of it. Watching you both being so playful is wonderful. It helps enormously that you know what you’re doing! Thank you for making me smile!
@@rigor.m9422 my issue is that when I don't know what it sounds like each fingering has the potential to be like five orore different notes whereas on violin you can't accidentally lip slur up when you don't know what to play
You can train your sightreading abilities ... if you know your instrument and you do a lot of sightreading (after 20 years on the same instrument it is quite managebale) - and don't forget: They are professional musicians!
Mae Weatherwax that’s a whole mood I haven’t played in like 5 months cuz of summer and marching season and it’s coming back to haunt me I can only play up to a C D;
I have to play a septuplet thing from a low A to high A and Im gonna cry bc there are SO MANY HIGH Fs LIKE CALM THE F DOWN we are playing Minor Alterations (Christmas edition) and I feel so bad for the woodwinds
100% more interesting than reading about these composers in my history book (what I should be doing right now) Nice job guys you read like pianists lol
It helps when it's a well known tune, you can bridge gaps in the sight-read from just remembering how it supposed to sound. They would have been at least vaguely familiar with this, as it's one of those tunes every classical musician has heard many times during his education.
As someone who played the violin for 8 years and became concertmaster of my (high school) orchestra, I could barely sightread to save my life lol. You guys are amazing and make me want to pick up my violin again after 3 years of not playing.
Petition for Brett and Eddy to upload content of them just playing great pieces together It’s free content that doesn’t take too much time to plan, it doesn’t have to be perfect. It could function as a showcase of a particular style or composer, or examples of personal favourites, or be for its own sake 😊
As a pianist, violist, and former violinist, I can tell you with confidence that four flats on violin is way harder than four flats on piano. even five sharps would be better for a violinist than four flats.
When I saw Ein Heldenleben at the end I was so shook! I had the chance to see the Clevland Orchestra perform the piece in March of 2019 and I absolutely loved it!
I love how the universal move when playing something difficult is "let me progressively move closer to the music so I can see it better"
Its for focus 😪
why is this me
i feel personally attacked
I felt that 😔
I felt this
“Bro, there’s four flats!”
I don’t read music. If I ever see four flats, they’re on my car and someone is out to get me.
This is a heavily underrated comment, I give you a like despite being a musician myself

Keely Hayes-Davies same. Even though I took mostly all the music classes when I was in high school: ledger line notes still throw me off. It’s a hassle
Ledger lines are the bane of my existence
And then they write it in tenor clef when I get many ledger lines.
*flutes, piccolos and clarinets cry in corner*
@Emily Schulte-Slifkin i don't, but my flute teacher has a friend who has a contrabass flute and she loves it, but is always complaining!!
I love the delight you two have in the music and the playing of it. Watching you both being so playful is wonderful. It helps enormously that you know what you’re doing! Thank you for making me smile!
I love how you keep smiling to self inflicted pain. Your passion and enthusiasm are inspiring!
Me: A trumpet player
Sight reading: Oh I don’t think so
I know right
Not happening
Wot? I used to play piano, now trumpet, and sight reading is stupid easy...
@@rigor.m9422 how long have you played
@@rigor.m9422 my issue is that when I don't know what it sounds like each fingering has the potential to be like five orore different notes whereas on violin you can't accidentally lip slur up when you don't know what to play
Eddy and Brett are so good at sight reading like wtf
I’m so jealous
I can read notes but not like them. Their eyes are so sharp than mine
That's what over 20 years of playing does to you
You can train your sightreading abilities ... if you know your instrument and you do a lot of sightreading (after 20 years on the same instrument it is quite managebale) - and don't forget: They are professional musicians!
So am I
Practice 40 hours a day for 20 years. Still won't get to that level.
Bro I have so much respect rn sight reading is HARD
They are really supporting each other and not being cocky
The fact that notes can be written that high astonishes me for I am a measly french horn player
I'm a trumpet so I love notes up there. Even if I can't play them well.
I too am a measly French horn player and I cry haveing to play anything higher than a high A
Mae Weatherwax that’s a whole mood I haven’t played in like 5 months cuz of summer and marching season and it’s coming back to haunt me I can only play up to a C D;
I have to play a septuplet thing from a low A to high A and Im gonna cry bc there are SO MANY HIGH Fs LIKE CALM THE F DOWN we are playing Minor Alterations (Christmas edition) and I feel so bad for the woodwinds
*laughs in clarinet*
It's so funny how they make the rules and then break them😂😂😂
As someone who plays cello (can only read bass clef / never gets a melody) this is so damn impressive and confusing
Sophia Tiles I play cello tooo , ngl I also read treble and tenor but I get u it’s so confusing sometimes
100% more interesting than reading about these composers in my history book (what I should be doing right now)
Nice job guys you read like pianists lol
Lilith Mary no they read like professional violinists and percussionists not paying attention in the back
9:59 Brett singing along is good and wholesome and something that we need to appreciate
Colity Quantent "dehuh AHH!"
Violin charades and flexing on us abt their sightreading skill at the same time :'D
‘Two bananas are better than one.’ That’s the spirit!! May Ling Ling bless your day.
the way they get closer to the screen whenever there's more notes to sight read. or when the song gets faster.
i felt that.
Straight up just hearing them play Brandenburg like that the first time makes me feel ashamed that I’ve been working on it for like a month
Peyton O'Shaughnessy you got this!!
It's just training reading notes .....u can do it
The import part is that you’re working on it- these guys didn’t get to where they are now without work
It helps when it's a well known tune, you can bridge gaps in the sight-read from just remembering how it supposed to sound.
They would have been at least vaguely familiar with this, as it's one of those tunes every classical musician has heard many times during his education.
This is late but, you got this!!!!
Is it just me or Brett gets cuter and bubblier lately???? Like it makes me so happy to see him
*more alive
I think he's happier because he's less stressed from traveling and touring for the concerts they did :)
for girls its called "blooming"😂😂😂
I thought I'm the only who think about that
My heart goes uwu --
As someone who played the violin for 8 years and became concertmaster of my (high school) orchestra, I could barely sightread to save my life lol. You guys are amazing and make me want to pick up my violin again after 3 years of not playing.
11:40 Can we all just take a minute to appreciate their description of Strauss
Twoset:IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGEEE
Also twoset:*flexes amazing sightreading skills*
Eddy’s reactions to Brett playing were so wholesome
Here on 2021. I don't play violin but I absolutely had fun hearing u guys 😂😂😂 that's such crazy performance u have there 🤯🤯i'm sold and blown.
Brothers, love the channel. Heard through Charles Berthound that one of you was having health problems. All my support. You guys rock.
10:04: eddy: AAAAAAAAAAH
Brett: *comforting* it's a hard piece.
Me: *wholesome vibes*
*anime eyes*
SPINEL!!
Deidara Akatsuki AYYYY
Petition for Brett and Eddy to upload content of them just playing great pieces together
It’s free content that doesn’t take too much time to plan, it doesn’t have to be perfect. It could function as a showcase of a particular style or composer, or examples of personal favourites, or be for its own sake 😊
Fuzzy Blitzball #TwosetRecital
There’s a YT vid of them being serious and playing a Mendelssohn quartet together. It’s quite good.
Mendelssohn String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13: czcams.com/video/z6JEPmO9wu0/video.html
Brett's that one kid that never practices but is always better at you no matter what
Never ever have I watched every video of Twosetviolin without ever having played the violin.
Try without ever playing an instrument at all in my whole damn life. Yeah 👍😊
7:58 bro, there's four flats
Me: [Laughs in Piano] pathetic
Omg me
SOOOO ME
As a pianist, violist, and former violinist, I can tell you with confidence that four flats on violin is way harder than four flats on piano. even five sharps would be better for a violinist than four flats.
A. Zhang chill that was just a joke... dont take it too serious!
😂😂
When you still sight reading, Ling Ling has already finished playing.
Verolu tell ling ling to get on tempo.
Lion Cubz lmao wrong if u can play it slow, you know what they say
When they're about to play, Ling Ling has already finished playing.
When I saw Ein Heldenleben at the end I was so shook! I had the chance to see the Clevland Orchestra perform the piece in March of 2019 and I absolutely loved it!
I wonder, how these 2 geniuses get together? Love your videos! 👌
