Hilary's hair makes her look kinda like a musical version of Hermione
So trueeee, I was just thinking about it
Now I can't unsee it
Lol
Lol brilliant!
THATS SO TRUE
A nice reminder that we all suck at our instruments
Yep
Yes , thank you .
Just remember, you are probably right
Yes
Yep, I plan to learn violin in a few months and this is really depressing haha, even though I know it doesn't make any sense comparing myself to these prodigies, especially as an adult who never received any education on music.
"and that's why brett is a musician not mathematician"
- eddy
I actually read it with his voice lol
Was amazed for 10 mins and it all broke into laughter in the last seconds just because his maths
I‘d suggest, that at 3.141.592 subscribers (i.e. pi million) they should do something irrational, as pi is an irrational number. E.g. they could perform a viola concerto or so.
Actually, did they play a concerto at 1 million yet? Or is it "still 20 concertos remaining"?
So many videos to prove why Brett is better off being a musician 😑
Brett's math is like Ben Lee's flight of the bumblebee
Fast but inaccurate

The Midori one is actually even crazier. She played on 3/4 and swapped to full size.
Bruh
And she swapped violins twice. She broke 2 e strings and was still able to catch up with the orchestra so bloody well
Broo🙂🙃
@@huangary9916 Thank you! Came looking for that comment. And without her shoulder rest, that she just manages to put back after both swaps: czcams.com/video/Rkp8YSuePPM/video.html
She is truly Amaazing
They didn't mention that Midori was playing a 3/4 violin before swapping with the concertmaster. So we are talking about different SIZE and not just a different violin.
YES!!!!! Also I believe the string broke twice. After she switched with the concertmaster, the string broke too and she had to switch again. And that piece is HARD. When you break down all the things she had to do, switching to A string, switching up the size of the violin, changing to different violins....it's like, how did she even do all that??????? In the middle of a performance???????
@@firelunamoon 40 hours of practice
But you don't keep breaking strings to keep everything in check to get full complete practices!!!???
I wonder how's her practice routine though

Fun fact: Anne-Sophie Mutter actually got asked not to take part in a german competition anymore because she was just that good, that nobody else stood a chance.

There's an interview with the head of admissions of the Curtis Institute where Hilary Hahn studied. She turned up aged 10 and he said as soon as she started playing, they all looked at each other and just sat back to enjoy the performance because they all knew instantly that she would be accepted.
Whoaa did she play for them when she was 10??

@@vt4979 It's on the DVD "Hilary Hahn: A Portrait". I haven't been able to find the interview online, but the whole thing is an interesting look at her life.
Kate Bush did a home audition at her own piano for David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) when she was like 15 or 16. He took her tapes to his record company EMI. They wanted to hire her immediate.
Kate: give me a few years to work on style. EMI: then you'll record Man With The Child In His Eyes for us as a single, right? (written so so young). Kate at 18: Wurthering Heights, you bitches!

That violin Midori switched to, was the concertmasters full-sized Stradivarius. Her own violin wasn't even full-sized.
S-strad? A fucking STRAD?
Imagine having to hand your strad to a child than they break a string on it
To add to Midori being awesome: her violin was a 3/4, she swapped it for the concertmaster's full size, and broke a string on that one to, and swapped again, to a different full size

For everyone who is watching this video and thinking that it is too late to start and end up world-famous, I wanted to tell you that Tchaikovsky didn't start writing music until he was 22, so it's never too late to start and become world-famous!
Oops I just turned 23. Oh well
“Start writing music at 22 => it’s never too late to start...”
You can tell that the commenter is a pretty young person, regarding 22 as late in life. :D
I feel ancient now.
@@notepadpowersnail1860
Well, 22 is old compared to the clips in this video. I was just trying to alleviate people's worries that because they aren't prodigies they can't be amazing at something.
And some people become worldfamous because they reach the age of 117.
So even at that age you can become world famous.
@@notepadpowersnail1860 My thoughts exactly. Like 22 is a baby! I assure any teens or twenty-somethings here that you are definitely still young enough to learn anything you want to. Just get started and practise!
This might be insignificant for you , but as I have grown in this channel I decided to try bubble tea for the first time in my life.

Every single one of those prodigies practiced their butts off. They may have been "born" with more natural aptitude, but hard work "created" them.
@@elissahunt it’s called a joke
@@LtCmdrData-tu7jx I understand that it is frustrating but please, in a world where you get fed on publicity by firms that are already richer than your own governement, i think someone who is pationat about his music sharing a link and not abusing like forcing you to see or skip publicities its ok, people should do that more imo. And if you don"t like it just do not mind it, but please, recognition as a musician is hard enough, specially in those time of lock down, think bigger and the world will be a better place

that's a lot of damage (c)
But you watch anyway lol
yup, exactly
youtube: just recognises any video will have copyright problem
Twoset:
Sad to see some of the comments are calling out twoset for jealousy. Jealousy is an angry, negative, destructive emotion. What I see in this video is two earnest violinists explaining the differences between the prodigies and their own abilities, and sadness that their own skills- huge as they are- don't measure up to their dreams. I would argue that the gift they are humbly bringing to the world through their videos is its own unique, creative type of prodigy.
I'm just glad Brett's life is not depending on his basic math skills.

You forgot to mention how Midori flawlessly switched from a 3/4 violin to a 4/4 Strad 😂 BY EAR ON THE SPOT. And then how the e string broke again within a minute and she had to switch again. So she conquered 3 violins in total!
Yo, she broke it twice in a movement? Maybe it's not the string but the player, lol. Or maybe it was just a freak coincidence, for the record books.

Can we see Sophie oui oui play piano or violin when she was a child?
That will be interesting !
You guys are already world-class soloists.
no, they are universe-class soloists
No one is ever gonna convince me otherwise, include Brett and Eddy themselves.
And entire orchestras too!
Me, with no musical education background and a violin begginer who -don’t- practice: _my self-esteem is safe, as long as i enjoy it, it won’t affect me._
Also me, after watching this video:
_i’m being an unrecycleable trash at 18_
I’m about to be 18 too and I too, feel like trash. But we can’t be if we’re still here c:
Don’t worry,your not alone in the feeling 😂😅😭
If you’re a beginner, then of course you’re not gonna be as good as these players. They’ve played since they were toddlers and it was the only thing they did.
Prodigy’s: *exists*
TwoSet: *Why are we here? Just to suffer?*
the suffering is inspirational
Bruh, Uncle Brett with that mustache. I can't even focus on the soloists lol.
HOW TO UNSEE THIS COMMENT 😭 i didn't notice it halfway before i read your comment....
Brett: nails Navarra so casually
Also Brett: Life´s pain
brett and eddy have been glowing lately!! i’m so proud of them!
Eddy: bruises on his neck that look like hickeys
Everyone: he just plays the violin
Hickeys: 👁👄👁
Violin:👀🏃
Midori didn't just switch to a different violin. She switched to a violin of a difference size! The violin with which she started was 7/8, but of course the concert master's was full-size.
Moreover, after a short interval she managed to break the E string on his violin too, and so she had to swap violins again. Worse, on this second occasion she had to play for a while without a shoulder rest, since her violin was still being reassembled after the first break. When the solo part had a couple of bars off, she refitted the shoulder rest herself in an instant, joining back in seamlessly more or less with her back to the audience and walking back to her position.
When they finished the piece, Bernstein almost collapsed with the stress of it all and utter amazement at how she had taken such mishaps in her stride.
the jump from the last video’s chaotic energy to this video’s depressing energy 😢
A daily dose of prodigies a day keeps self esteem away.
A daily dose of Twoset, whether old or new videos, keeps depression away :)
You know they were prodigies when even non musicians like me can understand how good their playing is.
Why does it seem like Brett and Eddy filmed this when they just woke up. Their hair!! 😂😂
And stubble
and the orange lighting
Lol their hair always be like this XD

It's Anne Sophie Mutter's one that's the most mind-blowing imho - to have that maturity and depth of tone and musicality at AGE 9 is really a miracle in itself.

Ohh, don't beat up yourselves again while watching this!
The Midori clip where she broke her string
She broke the E on her own 3/4 violin
Then she took the concert masters instrument which was 4/4 !!!
Broke the string again and switched the instrument AGAIN to finish the performance
She was playing Bernstein’s own piece while he was conducting
Moreover, when she switched the second time the violin she was given had no shoulder rest.
So she played it without one for 45 seconds until she effected a lightning fast fit of the rest during a couple of bars break in the soloist's part!
any other non musicians here who dont quite understand how much skill there is but just love seeing brett and eddys reactions?
Ich kenne einen; der schreibt gerade einen Kommentar.
When Perlman plays it seems like he's the dude that created the violin form how how chill his technique is.

Guys never forget you guys are amazing to!
I am 13 and suffer from depression and PTSD and your videos are the little joy I have in my life as well as playing my violin love you twoset thank you ❤️
The whole point isn't that we all suck it's that Brett and Eddy sound amazing but they're not superhero level prodigy and that you can make a lot of amazing beautiful music with PRACTICE. No one has to be a prodigy to do that. I wish Twoset didn't put themselves down so much because I think perhaps some young people take that and look at their own playing in a negative light.
*my confidence* : i'm gonna leave. 🕳 🏃🏻♀️
After the 4 million subs, I am rewatching TwoSet videos.
Looking back, their dream was to spread the love of classical music to world, and seeing what they have accomplished now, is simply inspiring and marking an unprecedented change in the classical music world.
Despite all the changes and difficulties they faced to reach this stage, they are never stopped to be inspired.
As a supporter, it can not be more happier and important that they getting more and more enriched and inspired as much as the inspiration we get from them.
So I pray that this 20 Million subs is coming closer. And seeing them improving, getting better, walking closer to their dreams and shining more and further in the world.
I can’t wait to see how every 1 million subs they create and plays music that inspires more of us.
You know what I like about watching Twoset Violin? Watching Twoset Violin is like reading chinese martial arts cultivation manga, you don't understand shit, but it sound like super impressive. Also, it also really trained your ears. Compare to first time I watched the Twoset vs now, I'm able to hear a bit clear of the distinction of what is beginner, intermediate and professional level.
It would be interesting to have the world class soloists and today's young prodigies meeting with each other and Twoset in a crossover video (i.e. Hilary Hahn and Chloe Chua).
19 year old midori playing last rose of summer at Carnegie hall is one of the most incredible performances i have seen.
It does not surprise me, having watched that, that she is that good at 14 and 16.
Brett and Eddy, you both are also prodigies. I mean, it may not be as "top tier" as them, but you both were exeptionally good when you were younger!
Should have played a clip of David Garrett playing as a teenager. We'd see them not only complimenting how great he plays but I bet they'd also say how good looking he was as well. 😆
David Garret? Hahahaha i preffer to Joshua Bell young but Garret naaaaaaaah
Ja, lang ist es her. Ich glaube, mittlerweile poppt er fast nur noch.
Get Sophie Oui Oui to show you child prodigy piano players, such as Alexander Malofeev!!
Or Kissin
brett looks so much healthier already! yay!
Midori switches from a 7/8 to full size violin from the concertmaster.
There are 126 violin concertos so Twoset needs 126M subs :O 👏👏👏
It may be nice to be able to play like that, but I'm happy to have had a childhood
Bruh, that's just downright untrue and disrespectful. They too had a childhood, one filled with music.
@@paulamali4484 I knew someone would say this. I am not being disrespectful, I'm just saying I'm glad I wasn't Hilary Hahn; I would've hated my childhood if I were in her position, and you probably would have too. You miss a lot of experiences when you practice 5, 6, 7, 8 hours a day as a child. Even if you're just super passionate about it as a kid, you really miss out on a lot of things. Some people even consider it abuse for children to practice that much. It takes maturity to enjoy a life filled with music, and kids don't really have that (have you worked with children?)
@@samueljett7807 For you, it would've been missing out on childhood. But maybe not for Hilary. Different people have different priorities, and I know firsthand that sometimes people can find a lot of joy in focusing intensely on one thing even from an early age. My sister was that way with her love for nature. She could study for hours but it just felt like fun to her, and she'd be more bothered by people trying to make her stop. So maybe don't assume things about other people. And by the way I do work with children.
@@reepicheepsfriend your first part is correct, almost restating what I said. There are few people who are willing to make the sacrifices to become great, and Hilary is one of them. I think it is great to be passionate about something (especially a kid, most of them just want to play Fortnite or AmongUs on their iPad nowadays lol), but I would never let it consume all my kids time, though it did work out for Hilary. I think it is detrimental to be hyper focused on one thing (sports, music, coding, cheerleading, or whatever) and not have variety. "All your eggs in one basket." Its like investing, you need to invest in a variety of things. If you put all you money in one place, it increases risk but also reward. The problem I ran into was I had too many interests and not enough time for them all (too many baskets for my eggs) Often, like you said about your sister, I would focus larger chunks of time on an interest, but I would rotate them. Like one week do electric circuits, the next do coding, the next look into astronomy, then birds... you get the idea.
Also I am confused about your last statement. What am I assuming exactly? I dont like to assume, because you know what that means...
Anyway, I never said Hilary hated her childhood, or that no one should be like her. I said that *most kids* would be miserable in that condition, and I stated *my opinion* that it is not worth it.
The whole reason I made the original comment was to point out it that it takes sacrifice to become great, and for many people (including myself) it would mean giving up many things we loved in childhood.
funniest comment ever: "Like my crunching. My crunching hasn't changed " .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy cow. This is seriously impressive. I love that TwoSet has brought all these magnificent players to a broader audience, such a remarkable contribution to the world on their part
Mr. Perlman is such a pleasure to listen... His tone somehow touches the core of my soul.
wait the story doesn't stop there, when midori switched her violin with the concertmeister's one she also broke the e string and changed the violin again !
Literally no one:
Brett: 4:16
Ahhhh
Aaaa
Ahhhh

9:07 Little did they know that they would be performing Mendelssohn and Bach violin concertos With the Singapore Symphony orchstra AND 2strads! Performance is in 3days!
It's amazing how at the young age each of these amazing musicians was already displaying the style, the character of their playing which we hear in their mature years. It's another sign of what an unique instrument violin is - what richness of colours, styles, characters it can convey.
I missed Brett's "HOLY MOLY" so much but here we go 😂

Its crazy to think how good you have to be at such a young age to be on track to become a concert violinist.
I used to think of prodigies as people who were impressive for playing so well so young, but now I realise they don’t just play well, they play in a way that you could listen to as a recording not for the age of the player but the beauty of the playing.
Perlman looks like he's about to fall asleep while playing, lol.
🤣 he's just chillin
