      I'm white, 38, and people still think I'm in my mid-twenties. The people at my current job thought I was an intern even though I've been doing this job twice as long as the other guy I work with. Some people are just cursed to look like children until they shrivel into prunes. My wife has the same problem, and she's Hispanic. Of course, she's also tiny, so that's part of it for her. She goes to lab (she has a PhD), and the PhD students all think she's their age (mid-twenties), when she's just a year younger than me. 💀

    Fun fact: in German we have a term for violists who never played the violin before and started on the viola immediately. We call them "Edelbratscher" ("noble violists"). They are known to be preferred when it comes to getting contracts for world-class orchestras, so the assumption that violists who played the violin before are better in any way is less than true, even if intended as just a joke.

    • @andrewhcit
      @andrewhcit Před rokem +168

      The main reason for that assumption is just that violas under 12" are rare, and as a result few people start on viola at ages younger than 8-9. Those who started on violin usually have a head start of several years.
      On the other hand, many people who switch from violin to viola never get as good a sound out of the viola as people who started on viola, because their bowing instincts are different.

I composed a piece for piano and submitted the written composition along with a cassette tape of myself playing the piece for a piano composition contest. I received first place prize and two judges likened my style to Rachmaninoff. Very difficult solo piano piece. This was after playing piano for only 6 months. I recently retired as a director of a school of music and a teacher of classical piano for over 40 years.

      I assume they are just playing about the frets but some people seem to forget that when one aspect of playing an instrument is made easier it just leads to taking it to another level. Eg chords are way easier on the guitar because of frets, so we just developed an insane chord vocabulary and highly complex rhythm techniques.

    • @grammarnazi12
      @grammarnazi12 Před rokem +3

      I think the point is that the years on violin translate quite directly into skill on the viola (so a violist who plays as well as if she had played for 16 years might have spent 8 of those years building up skill on the violin) whereas learning another instrument might not be so directly transferrable. Like if a flautist transferred to violin after 8 years of flute, they might be ahead in terms of musical knowledge, but they would not be able to play the violin as if they had already been learning for 8 years (or 5-6) on day one.

      @@grammarnazi12 But switching from flute to recorder, or recorder to ocarina, would definitely give the player a head start over a raw beginner. Many musicians play both clarinet and saxophone (especially if they are jazzers). Doubling is a norm for wind players. And musicality, phrasing, etc., can transfer between widely different instruments.

    A little poem for the Birthday Maid:
    Dear Brett
    What an eventful year it has been
    You and Eddy, Twoset for the win!
    You've transformed into Maid Brett for (Eddy's) all our joy
    To witness you dance, oh boy, oh boy
    And early summer came
    You guys brought a project to fame
    Beautiful pieces: prelude, scherzo, adagio, rhapsody
    All wrapped up in a beautiful, stunning movie
    You made us dream of distant lands and broad hallways
    You brought us back to ourselves in the end, like always
    Then the debut of B2TSM
    How much more epic can it get, oh man!
    But this was not all you had in stock
    I have to admit it was quite a shock
    When you took on Blackpink
    As Paganini himself, and got all the hate from their Blinks
    Sell out rocked so hard
    It for sure broke my spotify chart!
    But the most wonderful, epic event
    Was simply Ling Ling and God sent
    Of course through your hard work, all the practice and dedication too
    Let us witness you guys playing Mendy, Bach and Pag with the SSO
    Not only that, you did it on TWO Strads!
    That just proves how much the world loves you, lads
    It remains till this day the most beautiful recording in my opinion
    So much passion, softness, fire and emotion
    After new year a new project
    One in order to protect
    Violin-chan from the bass gang
    It all went down with a huge bang
    The Twoset vs Davie504 concert
    Nothing like this has ever been done, correct?
    All in all, an epic year once again
    And I'm sure you guys will gain
    Even more followers, do more epic projects, meet more people, dream even bigger
    And we'll support you all the way, while you do everything with vigour
    Please though, take good care of yourselves
    Look after you, take breaks and sleep enough, for your healths
    And for now all is left to say
    Is, happy Birthday!!!

    Again, my submission is not selected, but just looking at all the LingLing's they've selected, I'm kinda glad that they didn't pick mine😂 But it's all good, I'm only two years into violin because of Twoset, I still sound bad, but I practiced a lot and I enjoyed the process, that's all what I need!! And I gotta say, I miss videos like this from you guys so much!! 😭😭😭 I look forward to your world tour but I also hope you guys can continue to make new videos... sorry I'm being greedy here. Take care!!

    The most impressive one taking the years played to account is the double bassist. Almost unreal.
    The violinist playing for 28 days doesn't seem unreal. I started with the guitar, then picked up the cello. In 28 days, I'd say I played similarly to her. She must've had some musical background.

      Aye, one can get stuck and frustrated and have bad days when it's best to give up [that day] but it's all down to practice and I am making progress albeit slow [18 months on violin]. Some weeks my tutor just says after I've struggled through a piece I'm learning: "Well it's a lot better than last week" and a week does make a difference that only others can see/hear. Good luck and enjoy your practice...

    They made a serious mistake when judging the organist, we don't have dynamic control from the keyboard.
    The keyboard is literally a switchboard, the note is either on or off. There is no dynamic sensitivity in the keys & pedals.
    Dynamic changes are controlled via swellboxes, and the registration of the instrument.

    Regarding Kira: adults can get pretty far on string instruments in relatively short amounts of time. It helps being more in tune with your body and more receptive to learning than kids are. Half the process of teaching kids is preventing them from breaking the instrument lol. And the other half is getting them to pay attention.
