He almost told us what happened the 1st time he was in the finals of audition for Berlin Phil and why he had to do it the 2nd time, but Alondra had other plans.
For those of you who might be wondering about the fine tuner on the C string (as well as A) it's used to tune that string down during Strauss' Don Juan, and it's much easier to do so than a standard peg!
Eh probably not. They're usually booing violists whenever they can. They just can't boo this one since he's much higher up the chain than them and always will be. TwoSet and their jokes are the reason three of my viola students quit music.... I have no respect for the people in the comments section who contributed to it all.
@@liamnevilleviolist1809 Whaat?! Seriously? Poor kids, so easily influenced by socmed and influencers. I hope they just shifted instruments and did not quit music altogether. Cold comfort for you but the alternative is worse...
@@oxoelfoxo Yes, deadly serious. I actually fell into a depression for about a year thinking I'd failed as a teacher. It seems one teacher can't be as big an inspiration as the silly videos on the internet with a big fan following.... To answer your question, two of my students quit music completely and went to sports (I still keep in contact with the parents). One student decided to take up flute but didn't enjoy it as much and has stopped. She was halfway through Suzuki book 4 after 2 years with me (when on viola) but the bullying at school and negative internet comments and disses out of the mouths of TwoSet became too much.
@@elimgarak3597 Yes, absolutely real. You're exactly right about kids - they can listen to 50% praise and 50% teasing and will opt to zone in on the teasing and stop doing whatever it is that's causing it. Very unfortunate. They're very sensitive. I would say that it's a bit much to say that my students were "traumatised" but the bullying certainly had an effect on them that made them very upset (we even got to school parent-teacher-principal meetings). What disappointed me most is that my students used to look forward to the next TwoSet video... but now they don't watch them at all. They're more into Netflix now and instead of music they've gone over to sports. I'm hoping they'll return one day. I can only hope...I've encouraged them as much as I can. I even bought one of my students a new (bigger) viola after she'd got an A+ on her exam and she couldn't believe it. She was so overjoyed! I really encouraged them as best as I could. Now that is all out of the window...

Now that's a great idea!
He is absolutely the best violist in the whole world.
Really nice interview - thank you.
👍
Finally a violist ❤️
DANKE AUS
TEL AVIV
Just heard him last night at Carnegie Hall in Mahler 7th. He is amazing! A ferocious player!
Viola Power!
さすがや。すんげえ家に住んではるわ。ぶったまげ驚きびっくらこきマロ。

Twoset violin must be amazed 😂
