I would love to see more comparisons between the way Brett and Eddy play the same piece. I think it would be interesting to pinpoint the differences in phrasing, fingerings, and bowings like they did in this video

If the piece sounds dextrous, it's Brett. 9. If the bowing sounds light but loud, Brett 10. If you hear a sniff, Eddy. 11. If the vibrato is juicy, Brett
@@nicolasmartinez1317 i have been fascinated by how these two can play differently but still make beautiful music together when they duet I have started to notice that brett's still quite adjusting to his new violin. Eddy has always been experimental with his playing and Brett used to be confident in his own Scrollavezza but when he got his Widenhouse, I noticed him starting to explore and it's got a bit of a hesitance these days. But when he plays a piece he has practiced well, his playing actually shifted to his loud and quite energetic Scrollavezza playing to a more matured, graceful, yet still resonant Widenhouse playing which actually confuses me lately bc I've always associated graceful playing with Eddy. One thing that never did quite change is Brett rushing when he's either (1) excited or (2) nervous. I have a feeling he bases his counting with his heart rhythm which isnt so reliable when it changes depending on the situation.
I really love how Eddy was defending Brett's playing so much after the first clip and making sure Brett felt better about it. Truly showed best friend behaviour!🥺
13:08 I love how Editor-san put effort into comparing how different the two of them play the exact same part of the piece It's very interesting to watch
Ok, I gotta say this, Eddy, you are too precious to me (I'm not saying that Brett's not but this is what I think about Eddy from this video, and from, well, all the videos). The way he sincerely appreciates Brett's playing all the time really hit the soft part of my heart. The thing he always says while "commenting" on Brett's playing is, "that's too good", "I can't play like that", "you did that technique well, I can't do it as good"... He is humble, sincere, pay attention to details, always passion towards music... GOD I LOVE THIS MAN!!! 😭😭😭
Idk but i think he said, "it was you or earlier me" it means he thought that his technique one step forward from Brett. :') off course eddy has improved A lot
@@fadzilahagustin9097 I think he is talking more about style than technique improvement. I may be wrong but Brett’s early style has a bit of “aggressiveness” taste in it while now he is more gentle, and Eddy the opposite. So he is not bragging about his improvement but rather trying to figure out the playing by analyzing style.
The new setup is so professional. (Except Eddy is a bit in the houseplant.) But remember when we just had a table with a plastic recorder and several dozen triangles taped together? We’ve come so far, y’all.
The more I watch, the more I feel like this is another way of walking down the memory lane to look back at what you've done before, to know more about yourselves and each other, and to discover what's changed and what's not. LOVE IT!! Makes me look forward to more of your serious playing (whispering: and probably album) in the future!!
I'm commenting under my own comment to prevent people say that I'm spamming. I actually recognized quite a few of the playing, and even remembered which videos they are from because I watched (or listened to) those videos so many times lol I listened to Twoset's video while doing data analysis lol
Brett has a tendency to rush and eddy has a tendency to drag, even if both only so slightly. Eddy tends to ricochet bow more often and he has a longer phrasing. You both are so amazing. Also eddy has a more post-romantic vibrato and Brett's is more romantic era.
Love how Brett can tell how Eddy plays the violin when sight reading. I know they've been friends for super long, but I think it's so cute how well they've memorized one another's lil details.
Fun fact: if they had been purely guessing (50% chance), then the probability of having 14 or more scores out of 19 is 3.2%. Under the conventional 5% significance level, I would assert that both Brett and Eddy have the ability to tell the difference.
I want to thank Brett and Eddy, thanks to you guys I'm going to my first ever classical concert next week! I'll get to hear La Mer in real life for the first time, I'm soooo excited! I've also managed to convince my parents to go with me, they're both 50 and it will also their first time listening to an orchestra. I'm so happy! I love the video as always, have a nice day!
I think this video made me realize how much they know about each other and how the other plays. With pointing out phrasing, vibrato, even “that’s your old violin.” These guys are crazy talented and I appreciate it more every video
I feel like Eddy has more raw passion, like he would give his playing everything he has. Brett has a more delicate passion, having a more beautiful tone but some might say he is less expressive, but no it's just wrapped inside each note. But what do I know? I gave up on seriously answering after the first few.
Brett is the cutest little bean ever! I don't understand a single thing about classical music or violins, but your videos make me smile. Your sweetness and simplicity are heartwarming. Let's practice guys!
8:18 - Eddy and Brett being able to not only distinguish and differentiate between the player, but also between the different sounds that their violins make ("This doesn't sound like either of our violins.")... Meanwhile Me: Is this a Cello? [Edit: Clip#16 (17:10) was the funniest!! His facial expression killed me 😂]
Omg brett was so lively this video!! Climbing up the table off screen (seeing his socks had me cackling) and then jumping on his chair too 😂 And i love that the last piece got me thinking “it sounds way too nice to be either of them but i dont mind being wrong!” 😂 sorry twoset, ray’s amazing~ Playing along, i got their sight reading pieces mostly wrong. It makes me wonder if i actually do know how they play or if i just recognize the audio and mentally match it to a video 😂
I don't watch twoset as much anymore, but sometimes I can't help but click their vids just cause they look so adorable in their thumbnails. And then the content ends up to be so entertaining.
0:34 I love how now the Lo-Fi cue is audial And visual as well XD 17:02-17:30 These reactions are gold :D Also, I remember someone was waiting for this guessing game, and so was I :)
I didn’t realize it at the time, but I really liked Brett’s Mendelssohn at that failed audition!!! 😉Anxious to hear him play it for real!! PS His Ysaye is pretty darn impressive too. Who says? Me and Vengerov!!
Coming back after listening to a bunch of your video from serious playing to sight reading and having fun, I have learnt that: 1. (obviously) Your playing while sightreading is much more rough and unrefined and definitely not telling of your skill level, but it is hella interesting and fun cause seeing you guys trying to challenge yourself and like in this video, it is like a prank to throw you off from guessing about who was actually playing which. 2. The improvement is immeasurable. Again, coming back from your old vids and hearing your playing compare to recent videos now, which was featured in this vid, for a non-trained musician, one can tell you two improved a lot, especially Eddy since his tone and musicality on his old violin is more 'pressed' and now, his playing sound more expressive and 'freer' without hard pressing and that straining feeling. With Brett, his playing is more refined than before. The notes are more crisp, cleaner and rounder. 3. The different in phrasing from the both of you. The improvement make the different in characteristics in your playing more prominent. I really love the part when the editor put the comparison between how you two would phrase the same piece, like Monti -Csardas, the different in how your vibrato sound like. Really like this 'analysis' into your own playing. 4. Once again, practice is emphasis and is very important. It's really motivated me and warm my heart when Eddy said like 'how I played it back then' because these two tend to put themselves down because they know where they are, how they play, but also it's the affirmative that you improved after consistent years of practice that is very relatable to us as well. Brett shocked at himself because he didn't recognize his old playing (the monti ones) also shows me he changed and improved that's why he thought it wasn't him. Lastly, as viewers since we are more familiar with their comedic, non-serious playing while sight reading that honestly we could recognize a lot of these clips but knowing you two didn't not because you don't know but you are more trained to hear your playing/practicing hard now, is encouraging in its own way. Keep it up guys, can't wait to see your future venture and Eddy 5mil drop since Brett worked so hard and played so beautifully already! Bonus: Love the part when both of you are unsure if you have played it before or who play it, you two just move your hand just to confirm how you would play it. The fact both know each other quite clear and just like, 'I know you played that piece and I dont' so it's just meant the other person. Also the last one is really wholesome, they immediately just guess the other because the sounds are really good but also they know themselves enough to know it is definitely not them XD.
I was weirdly relieved when the video started with them forgetting the lights weren't on. And the end with the out-of-battery camera just made me happy. As if the universe was saying "Don't worry, some things have changed but TwoSet will always be TwoSet". 😆
I was the same! Shocked myself. Got them all right purely on gut feeling or from remembering old videos somehow 😱 Except I didn't answer the last one because I wasn't confident enough to decide 😂
I got 13!!! I think, to my uneducated (musically) ear, Eddy has very speciffic phrasing- very different from Brett's. Loved this episode. Perfect for fans who have been watching for years now.
For non-musicians : try to imagine your friends or family read out your poems/fictions/tweets from years ago and you can’t even remember what happened then. It’s part of you and your creation for sure and there must be some interesting pieces of it but you would still feel awkward or fear for some reason. Thanks for sharing this with us! It’s so touching and inspiring as well!
I feel like Brett's playing is somewhat softer and Eddy has a bit more of an aggressive style, but not by much. Eddy seems more confident when sight-reading and hits cleaner high notes on the spot, while Brett sounds like he can recover really well from mistakes and his sound is somewhat rounder. This is coming from someone who doesn't play violin, so I may just be talking out my ass, but guessing with this in mind really helped me get most of them right :D
That's exactly how I feel. And it's amazing how you put it way better than I am despite not being a violinist!! I actually love Brett's rounder tone 😍🥰
Really? I thought the otherwise.. brett's play sounds more aggressive and his technique is confident. But eddy has better tone and phrasing. I recon brett's often have more flat note not always, not much but yeah.. it's quite obvious (lmao my violin teacher makes me practice scales everyday for hours with tuner before I jump to piece, my fingers often give up but my ears have sharpened)
@@gordonwu6828 i’m not alone thank u! I wondered what it was about Brett that got me thinking “yeah that’s Brett playing” because Eddy’s musicality sticks out to me more xD
I got all one. Listen to your vibrato's. Eddy, you do not start the vibrato on every note--short notes don't matter, but long notes start out as a pure tone and then the vibrato kicks in. Brett's tone is enriched by the vibrato right from the start of each note.
It's so amazing how despite twoset always playing together, I had difficulty telling but when I could, I realized that each of their playing had their own character!! Brett seems to be slightly more refined and his playing is really smooth and gentle while Eddy's is a bit more rough, and I love the contrast!! Personally I actually really like Brett's playing 😍 But thanks Twoset for doing this!! You both should do vids like this more often!!
I love how they actually knew their instrument and their own style of music and also each other so well, that they actually are not purely guessing who played which piece, but had a proper reason that led to that hypothesis. It's just amazing.
I could tell it was him because he always does a big gliss up to that top G in the first couple of bars! (Edit - I put E at first but the one up to the G is way bigger 😄)
You are both too good to be putting yourselves down like that. I struggle daily on the violin, and I wish I could play as well as either of you. Unfortunately, you have only learned to hear the problems in your playing, and are missing the big picture. You are both fine violinists and should be proud!
I know you guys sometimes cringe at your own playing in this video (I'm a violinist and I cringe at my own recordings as well...), but you two both have a beautiful tone and truly are great violinists!
This reminds me sb once commented they would love to see a video where brett and eddy practice the same piece seperately and then compare how they interpret it differently! I think that would actually be very interesting
It was really funny to play along and try to guess who was who. I'm sure many of us have high marks, lol! Always a pleasure to listen to your playing (rehearsed or not). You two are an inspiration to many, good job! Have a nice day ;)
I got the first 14 in a row correct lol… Brett’s timbre always feels… lighter/higher and kind of “flowy” and Eddy’s feels a bit… sharper and lower/deeper and has more distinct edges between phrases and notes. Brett always seems like he comes in softer, and the lines feel smoother? I only play piano and not even that well, and I’ve never done any aural training… I guess I’ve just watched too many TwoSet videos lol. My intuition based on how it sounds seems to be enough to tell them apart very consistently.
You can see their self esteemed evaporated the more they listen to themselves. Brett couldn't even recover from the first clip. Funny that all other musicians UA-camr tried to be so fantastic and expert but you guys almost try to destroy your self esteemed. It made people related more to you guys
I guessed correctly on all but the ones where they weren't playing their own violins 😆 Eddy to me has very distinct vibratos, and he has a generally more vibrant and dramatic way of playing. Brett's playing has a bit more weight to it, generally more mellow, but this lends him a surprisingly powerful sound when he really goes for it, like in clip #9.
I'm a pianist and Eddy's style is pretty close to how I persieve the music, he's more passionate in culminations (or even aggressive like smone said in the comments 😆) and tender to the melodies, his style is introverted and philosophical, and also romantic. But I still prefer Brett because you can spot newer things in his playing and kinda do your playing more "objective" since Brett plays spectacular and kinda more logical or like "extraverted", and closer to that "famous musician" sound. And I find their styles correlate with their life personalities
Just to say that I’m a casual fan. I like music in general but I don really understand the technical details nor the difference are. They are amazing, just by listening to the music they can differentiate the play style, the “bowing”, proficiency and more while for me it’s all the same 😂🤣🤣🤣.
I’m not a violinist so I definitely struggle when pointing out the technical parts when listening. But for some reason, I can tell if it’s Eddy playing regardless of the violin he’s using because it sounds so sweet. Is it just me who has that impression of his playing?
Today morning I was seeing all these fan quizzes and I was wondering if I would be able to guess which one is Eddy and Brett by their playing and when the video dropped, my jaw dropped to the floor. Such a coincidence?!?! Anyways, love you guys and thank you for inspiring us 💕💗
7:43 I chose Brett bc when Brett plays, he has a much deeper sound on the G string than Eddy, puts more pressure and sometimes you can hear the articulation from Brett. Eddy on the other hand plays more of a lighter and faster feeling.
Here's what I imagine they were thinking in that moment. They are both incredibly supportive of each other, obviously. But I think they both really do feel that Brett has slightly better technique. So, they are both counting on him to be the stronger one in certain circumstances. It's a dynamic that you sometimes encounter in ensembles that have a very positive and trusting atmosphere. You acknowledge the stronger players because they are the ones you rely on and look up to. So, (in reference to the video) when they hear a clip that to them sounds "dodgy", they would PREFER it to be from the "weaker" player, at least, if it has to be one of them. If you are the one everyone is counting on to sound good, then you feel even worse if you think you sound bad, because you've let the ensemble down. That's how I interpreted that moment - not that Brett is egotistical or looking down on Eddy, but that he's actually extremely hard on himself because he feels the added weight of expectations.
@@reepicheepsfriend as a second flute, I wouldn't be insulted if the first-chair flute player heard themselves and thought it was me. It was so sweet of you to explain your thoughts to us. I (sincerely) appreciate it.
Got 16/20 It's becoming a habit to see some "pictures/paintings" when I heard they're playing. It's like I see 'bold', 'strong', yet 'clear' paintings on Brett's and 'clean' and 'light/bright' paintings on Eddy's~ Loooove them so much~
I knew the last one was Ray because Hilary Hahn likes to slur the quarter notes; Ray slurs the first two (as written), and then plays more separate bow strokes. He plays more of what is written. Ray's bowing: slur two, separate, separate, slur two, slur three, etc. Hilary's: slurs two, slurs four, slurs three, separate, separate, slur two, etc. Also, I have lately been obsessed with this concerto, and my all-time favorite (surprisingly! I say sarcastically) is Hilary Hahn, and I always noticed how she plays differently than what's written, and have really admired and appreciated how she likes to phrase it, how she somehow keeps that sorta . . . I don't know how to describe it. That tone? It's just as thick, as smooth as other players, yet, different, because it's her own style, and it's just so different, yet so similar, and hmmff, it's so good. Anyways, there's my TedTalk, thank you very much for listening, have a good day! - Ana
I'm sad that so many of Twoset's videos are getting unjust copyright claims :( I hope they get more sales with their Apparel. They also have a donate button on their main website contact page. Considering what's happening with YT, I don't think there's anything wrong with putting a donate link in their descriptions... I hope they consider it. YT is a different place these days :( I also can't imagine Twoset getting a patreon - their content is about outreach and education...
Hi guys! I love your videos! I am a violin student, and your videos have motivated me to study and practice 40 hours every day. I have been playing for only 4 years with one of the most well-known teachers in my state. I am so excited to share with you that I have been invited to perform on tour to Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan! Thank you for the inspiration and the amazing videos! ~ Hannah. P.S GO PRACTICE!
Maybe because I'm a musician, but you two have very distinctive playing styles. I think many of your fans can recognize the differences because we listen to you both play so often! :D
I actually think they are lowkey very fine musicians. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the quality and intensity of many of these passages. Very rich and satisfying to listen to. Now, I’m not a huge fan of Bach but Eddy’s Sonata No. 1 Adagio just hit different, man; it warped me to some deserted 16th century field, wind blowing, everything grey and desolate. The all too few bars played said so much. They articulated someone who was gutted and spent - it painted a troubling picture and yet I was hooked and wanted to hear more. Shame it ended. Re: Brett, well the Weinswski Polonaise was just sweet, some of the shifts were golden, tone was nuanced, and some of the complex string crossings where oh so finessed. In one word: Delicious!
@@londongael414 Glad I could help. My dream is to judge one of these competitions. I’m not a violinist, but you could say that I’m pretty much the Hilary Hahn among listeners. I actually do listenings where musicians play for me. I don’t teach technique but I point out where there interpretations fall flat. For years many experienced musicians just couldn’t figure out why Lang Lang was wildly popular with audiences. It’s because he knows how to make music. Playing music and making music are two different things. When you learn to bend melodies to your will, you’re halfway there. It’s sort of like being an interpreter or translator. If you stick slavishly to the text - no matter how correct it is - you end up with a dry boring rendition. When you betray the text to make it your own you sometimes end up with the very result the composer intended. The point is to convey ideas not notes. You need the notes, but they are only part of the equation.
@@dmp7252 I think you mean well but your comment reminds me a bit of this old video of twoset's: (add the youtube url at the beginning) /watch?v=PlO5xSWmxmY
@@reepicheepsfriend Hahah - I hear where you’re coming from. I’m going to call out TwoSet for one of the comments in the video. (It was so funny.) Brett made a comment saying: “Too much technique.” So, Eddy, in a passive-aggressive way, knowing that the connoisseur can’t play that passage goes: “Can you show me how it’s done then?” Low blow, Eddy. It was funny, but it reveals a very interesting dynamic. Don’t expect listeners to have no opinion, at all, of a performance, or to always be congratulatory. You want the most demanding audience you can get! They make you better, and when the victories come, they will be all the sweeter. As far as opinions go, you take what you can use, leave the rest. But musicians should always play for non-musicians every now and then. You will always get comments that you didn’t expect ... for better or worse.
I've watched the recent ray chen video an unhealthy amount of times and could straight away tell the ones from that video. Including the ray one at the end lol I'm obsessed with that video 🫣
I’m actually going to start violin soon because of you guys. Thanks you so much for the amazing content and keep on going. You’ll reach 4 mil soon, don’t stop!
I am better at this than Brett and Eddy. Hahaha. The saying goes, 旁观者清, meaning, the bystander is clearer. Another nice video idea from Twoset! Basically, Brett tends to play the pieces that are slower and more melodious while Eddy tends to play the pieces that require many strokes in quick succession.
I'm not a musician, but I love TwoSet. This was very interesting and fun to watch. It made me think of how we each don't always recognize who we are, what we do, and how we come across to others. Many times we see a character trait (usually a negative trait) in someone else, but we are totally unaware that we exhibit that exact trait.
I was really hoping that there would be a clip from the 2 boys 1 violin video cause that would be really funny, but I also feel like they avoid that video.
Brett not knowing it was him is like me two days ago when I heard a recording of me during rehearsals. I was so surprised it sounded that good that I had to really ask if it was me. You both are so amazing, I know you two poke fun of yourselves but you guys sound INCREDIBLE. Please don’t ever say any different. The 40hrs really pay off 💪🏽
I have come to develop an ear for who plays by their style of playing. Eddy tends to sound more gritty and aggressive. Brett tends to rush sometimes but has a more light and airy sound. Both have their own styles but sound awesome! I love listening to yall play. Thank you for keeping classical music alive and the humor going. ❤

Isnt it listed on the top of the video...
Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.
The new setup is so professional. (Except Eddy is a bit in the houseplant.) But remember when we just had a table with a plastic recorder and several dozen triangles taped together? We’ve come so far, y’all.
Yeah!
I miss the triangle pyramid
The more I watch, the more I feel like this is another way of walking down the memory lane to look back at what you've done before, to know more about yourselves and each other, and to discover what's changed and what's not. LOVE IT!! Makes me look forward to more of your serious playing (whispering: and probably album) in the future!!
I'm commenting under my own comment to prevent people say that I'm spamming.
I actually recognized quite a few of the playing, and even remembered which videos they are from because I watched (or listened to) those videos so many times lol I listened to Twoset's video while doing data analysis lol
Hello again!
@@johannsebastianbach1742 Hello Bach! Always pleasant to see you!
@@simplytwosetter You too!
@@johannsebastianbach1742 people never turn thier bach on you dude
Brett has a tendency to rush and eddy has a tendency to drag, even if both only so slightly. Eddy tends to ricochet bow more often and he has a longer phrasing. You both are so amazing. Also eddy has a more post-romantic vibrato and Brett's is more romantic era.
The moment when it's Ray's sound but Brett and Eddy chose their partner is wholesome
ikrrr 🥺🥺🥺
"partner"
Love how Brett can tell how Eddy plays the violin when sight reading. I know they've been friends for super long, but I think it's so cute how well they've memorized one another's lil details.
Fun fact: if they had been purely guessing (50% chance), then the probability of having 14 or more scores out of 19 is 3.2%. Under the conventional 5% significance level, I would assert that both Brett and Eddy have the ability to tell the difference.
Someone just got done with stats
thats amazing math
I only got 11 right, which is close to the 50% chance, but the ones I got were the ones they described as “easy”. So I’m learning.
I want to thank Brett and Eddy, thanks to you guys I'm going to my first ever classical concert next week! I'll get to hear La Mer in real life for the first time, I'm soooo excited!
I've also managed to convince my parents to go with me, they're both 50 and it will also their first time listening to an orchestra. I'm so happy!
I love the video as always, have a nice day!
Enjoy your concert ☺️
Good luck 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ahhh enjoy! Nothing like hearing a full orchestra live 🤩🤩
What fun! I'm sure you'll love it
What a great piece to hear live! Recordings of La Mer really don’t compare
How I wish there had been a clip of playing one violin together. That would have been funny.
Yeah, would have caught them off guard.. p'haps?
Yes lmao a total prank lolol
I think this video made me realize how much they know about each other and how the other plays. With pointing out phrasing, vibrato, even “that’s your old violin.” These guys are crazy talented and I appreciate it more every video
The Mendelssohn piece by Brett was hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing!
So excited to hear it for the 4 mil livestream!!🥳
Oh man, 6-months-ago person, just wait till you hear the 4M performance! He slays it!
there’s a distinct tone difference between the two of them. Eddy has a much more brittle tone, whereas Brett has a bigger tone.
What do you mean bigger tone? Higher volume?
Gosh i wish they really explained the differences more! Now i have to scour the comments to find stuff like this *cries in non-musician*
@@sampoakar I think they mean it sounds fuller. Like one is a milkshake and one is a malt
Agreed. I think Eddy is in general more technically proficient, but in terms of pure sound production Brett is miles ahead.
I feel like Eddy has more raw passion, like he would give his playing everything he has. Brett has a more delicate passion, having a more beautiful tone but some might say he is less expressive, but no it's just wrapped inside each note.
But what do I know? I gave up on seriously answering after the first few.
Brett is the cutest little bean ever! I don't understand a single thing about classical music or violins, but your videos make me smile. Your sweetness and simplicity are heartwarming. Let's practice guys!
@DAIZIEDAIZ yeah! Eddy is a sweetheart too and they are both funny, specially around Ray, but Brett has a special place in my heart.
19:53 that moment when you both mimicked the piece with perfect coordination with both your hands was beautiful.
As a real fan
Guessing all the pieces right (❌)
Having the same idea and guessing the piece wrong together(✔️)
8:18 - Eddy and Brett being able to not only distinguish and differentiate between the player, but also between the different sounds that their violins make ("This doesn't sound like either of our violins.")...
Meanwhile Me: Is this a Cello?
[Edit: Clip#16 (17:10) was the funniest!! His facial expression killed me 😂]
Can't wait for the new apparel to be released!!! My wallet is more than ready!!! It is literally screaming "Twoset take me I'm all yours" lol
UsernameChecksOut
My wallet is awfully silent and empty, yours sounds way funnier to live with... 😄
The fact i got more points than eddy and brett shows how much I'm obsessed with them
You guess from admiration, they guess from embarassment. Way easier for you :)
Oh man it feels so weird seeing you in front of this new setup! Almost like you're professional UA-camrs now 😂
Luckily, they still forget to turn on the lights and charge the camera. We are safe, they're still musicians. 😅
I love how Eddy continues to be so excited about the new set that he starts out playing with the 40 clock.
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia precisely
Their camera dying always ads to the comedy of the situation, it's almost as if it chose the perfect moment to go!
Interesting, I have kinda noticed Brett’s thicker lyrical style while Eddy’s more light and sensitive sound. Love this about musicians.
Omg brett was so lively this video!! Climbing up the table off screen (seeing his socks had me cackling) and then jumping on his chair too 😂
And i love that the last piece got me thinking “it sounds way too nice to be either of them but i dont mind being wrong!” 😂 sorry twoset, ray’s amazing~
Playing along, i got their sight reading pieces mostly wrong. It makes me wonder if i actually do know how they play or if i just recognize the audio and mentally match it to a video 😂
11:23 the only serious "interesting" I've heard from them.
I don't watch twoset as much anymore, but sometimes I can't help but click their vids just cause they look so adorable in their thumbnails. And then the content ends up to be so entertaining.
0:34 I love how now the Lo-Fi cue is audial And visual as well XD
17:02-17:30 These reactions are gold :D
Also, I remember someone was waiting for this guessing game, and so was I :)
19:28 damn eddy acknowledge brett skill such a wholesome thing to do!
TNBEE?!!!!!❤❤❤❤
THE MUSIC ARCHONNNN
I didn’t realize it at the time, but I really liked Brett’s Mendelssohn at that failed audition!!! 😉Anxious to hear him play it for real!! PS His Ysaye is pretty darn impressive too. Who says? Me and Vengerov!!
Yeah, his tone on that piece is very nice. I think it probably helped that the room has nice acoustics for the recording.
I recognized it right away.
I guess it may be subjective, because I preferred his playing after his short lesson with the teacher in the same video
@@txywishes I agree. He is a fine student. I liked the spirit and tone of his performance, but heck, I’m an amateur trumpet player!😂😂😎
Coming back after listening to a bunch of your video from serious playing to sight reading and having fun, I have learnt that:
1. (obviously) Your playing while sightreading is much more rough and unrefined and definitely not telling of your skill level, but it is hella interesting and fun cause seeing you guys trying to challenge yourself and like in this video, it is like a prank to throw you off from guessing about who was actually playing which.
2. The improvement is immeasurable. Again, coming back from your old vids and hearing your playing compare to recent videos now, which was featured in this vid, for a non-trained musician, one can tell you two improved a lot, especially Eddy since his tone and musicality on his old violin is more 'pressed' and now, his playing sound more expressive and 'freer' without hard pressing and that straining feeling. With Brett, his playing is more refined than before. The notes are more crisp, cleaner and rounder.
3. The different in phrasing from the both of you. The improvement make the different in characteristics in your playing more prominent. I really love the part when the editor put the comparison between how you two would phrase the same piece, like Monti -Csardas, the different in how your vibrato sound like. Really like this 'analysis' into your own playing.
4. Once again, practice is emphasis and is very important. It's really motivated me and warm my heart when Eddy said like 'how I played it back then' because these two tend to put themselves down because they know where they are, how they play, but also it's the affirmative that you improved after consistent years of practice that is very relatable to us as well. Brett shocked at himself because he didn't recognize his old playing (the monti ones) also shows me he changed and improved that's why he thought it wasn't him.
Lastly, as viewers since we are more familiar with their comedic, non-serious playing while sight reading that honestly we could recognize a lot of these clips but knowing you two didn't not because you don't know but you are more trained to hear your playing/practicing hard now, is encouraging in its own way. Keep it up guys, can't wait to see your future venture and Eddy 5mil drop since Brett worked so hard and played so beautifully already!
Bonus:
Love the part when both of you are unsure if you have played it before or who play it, you two just move your hand just to confirm how you would play it.
The fact both know each other quite clear and just like, 'I know you played that piece and I dont' so it's just meant the other person.
Also the last one is really wholesome, they immediately just guess the other because the sounds are really good but also they know themselves enough to know it is definitely not them XD.
Different set up, but the same old twoset… i love these guys ❤️
fr fr!!
I was weirdly relieved when the video started with them forgetting the lights weren't on. And the end with the out-of-battery camera just made me happy. As if the universe was saying "Don't worry, some things have changed but TwoSet will always be TwoSet". 😆
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia tru, i don't ever want them to change. This is perfection :)
Fr love them so much and so good to see all the chaos😂🥺
I'm getting these all correct and I'm just going off a gut feeling. I've been a fan for years but i didn't realize i knew them this well!
I was the same! Shocked myself. Got them all right purely on gut feeling or from remembering old videos somehow 😱 Except I didn't answer the last one because I wasn't confident enough to decide 😂
Same!
Their sync at 19:53 is so...idk, in sync😂Can't stop rewatching that
Ikr!! uwu 😍
I got 13!!! I think, to my uneducated (musically) ear, Eddy has very speciffic phrasing- very different from Brett's. Loved this episode. Perfect for fans who have been watching for years now.
Bwahaha 3.72 mil guess what's coming at 4 mil
Brett the soloist and Eddy the single person entire orchestra you've got this
For non-musicians : try to imagine your friends or family read out your poems/fictions/tweets from years ago and you can’t even remember what happened then. It’s part of you and your creation for sure and there must be some interesting pieces of it but you would still feel awkward or fear for some reason. Thanks for sharing this with us! It’s so touching and inspiring as well!
They look so cute playing their air violins @15:14
I feel like Brett's playing is somewhat softer and Eddy has a bit more of an aggressive style, but not by much. Eddy seems more confident when sight-reading and hits cleaner high notes on the spot, while Brett sounds like he can recover really well from mistakes and his sound is somewhat rounder. This is coming from someone who doesn't play violin, so I may just be talking out my ass, but guessing with this in mind really helped me get most of them right :D
That's exactly how I feel. And it's amazing how you put it way better than I am despite not being a violinist!! I actually love Brett's rounder tone 😍🥰
so true, it's a telltale sign
Really? I thought the otherwise.. brett's play sounds more aggressive and his technique is confident. But eddy has better tone and phrasing. I recon brett's often have more flat note not always, not much but yeah.. it's quite obvious (lmao my violin teacher makes me practice scales everyday for hours with tuner before I jump to piece, my fingers often give up but my ears have sharpened)
No offence , but when I hear the technique is better I just think it’s Brett . Whereas eddy In my opinion has more musicality( I do play violin )
@@gordonwu6828 i’m not alone thank u! I wondered what it was about Brett that got me thinking “yeah that’s Brett playing” because Eddy’s musicality sticks out to me more xD
i deadass never practiced flute before watching these two but now i see myself practicing 2 hours a day and am going back to doing lessons 😭
I got all one. Listen to your vibrato's. Eddy, you do not start the vibrato on every note--short notes don't matter, but long notes start out as a pure tone and then the vibrato kicks in. Brett's tone is enriched by the vibrato right from the start of each note.
Now that is the content WE ALL KNEW we needed!
Thanks guys for this funniest masterpiece, you actually made my day🥰
It's so amazing how despite twoset always playing together, I had difficulty telling but when I could, I realized that each of their playing had their own character!! Brett seems to be slightly more refined and his playing is really smooth and gentle while Eddy's is a bit more rough, and I love the contrast!! Personally I actually really like Brett's playing 😍 But thanks Twoset for doing this!! You both should do vids like this more often!!
This is a sign that I have rewatched TwoSet videos too many times 😅
I love how they actually knew their instrument and their own style of music and also each other so well, that they actually are not purely guessing who played which piece, but had a proper reason that led to that hypothesis. It's just amazing.
Brett yeeting on his chair is my new favorite variant of him.
Brett's expression, facial and body, throughout this video is pure comedy gold!
Brett’s Mendelssohn violin concerto actually sounds so good 5:20
Absolutely!
That's why we're all waiting for the 4M subs.
I could tell it was him because he always does a big gliss up to that top G in the first couple of bars!
(Edit - I put E at first but the one up to the G is way bigger 😄)
Yes🤍
You are both too good to be putting yourselves down like that. I struggle daily on the violin, and I wish I could play as well as either of you. Unfortunately, you have only learned to hear the problems in your playing, and are missing the big picture. You are both fine violinists and should be proud!
I had to stop, just at the first clip. Eddy is so comforting and supportive, coming up with all these excuses for Brett's playing.
I know you guys sometimes cringe at your own playing in this video (I'm a violinist and I cringe at my own recordings as well...), but you two both have a beautiful tone and truly are great violinists!
This was super fun 😄 Love all the little things they notice about their playing.
This reminds me sb once commented they would love to see a video where brett and eddy practice the same piece seperately and then compare how they interpret it differently!
I think that would actually be very interesting
What we learned today: Brett can't recognise his own playing
It was really funny to play along and try to guess who was who. I'm sure many of us have high marks, lol! Always a pleasure to listen to your playing (rehearsed or not). You two are an inspiration to many, good job! Have a nice day ;)
I got the first 14 in a row correct lol… Brett’s timbre always feels… lighter/higher and kind of “flowy” and Eddy’s feels a bit… sharper and lower/deeper and has more distinct edges between phrases and notes. Brett always seems like he comes in softer, and the lines feel smoother? I only play piano and not even that well, and I’ve never done any aural training… I guess I’ve just watched too many TwoSet videos lol. My intuition based on how it sounds seems to be enough to tell them apart very consistently.
They are both such good sports, and every difference they notice, they express without value judgement.
You can see their self esteemed evaporated the more they listen to themselves. Brett couldn't even recover from the first clip.
Funny that all other musicians UA-camr tried to be so fantastic and expert but you guys almost try to destroy your self esteemed. It made people related more to you guys
I guessed correctly on all but the ones where they weren't playing their own violins 😆
Eddy to me has very distinct vibratos, and he has a generally more vibrant and dramatic way of playing. Brett's playing has a bit more weight to it, generally more mellow, but this lends him a surprisingly powerful sound when he really goes for it, like in clip #9.
I'm a pianist and Eddy's style is pretty close to how I persieve the music, he's more passionate in culminations (or even aggressive like smone said in the comments 😆) and tender to the melodies, his style is introverted and philosophical, and also romantic. But I still prefer Brett because you can spot newer things in his playing and kinda do your playing more "objective" since Brett plays spectacular and kinda more logical or like "extraverted", and closer to that "famous musician" sound. And I find their styles correlate with their life personalities
I like both their playing but I think that Eddy has more details
Just to say that I’m a casual fan. I like music in general but I don really understand the technical details nor the difference are. They are amazing, just by listening to the music they can differentiate the play style, the “bowing”, proficiency and more while for me it’s all the same 😂🤣🤣🤣.
I’m not a violinist so I definitely struggle when pointing out the technical parts when listening. But for some reason, I can tell if it’s Eddy playing regardless of the violin he’s using because it sounds so sweet. Is it just me who has that impression of his playing?
I went about guessing in a similar but opposite way. Brett usually sounds heavier and more dramatic to me
Today morning I was seeing all these fan quizzes and I was wondering if I would be able to guess which one is Eddy and Brett by their playing and when the video dropped, my jaw dropped to the floor. Such a coincidence?!?! Anyways, love you guys and thank you for inspiring us 💕💗
7:43
I chose Brett bc when Brett plays, he has a much deeper sound on the G string than Eddy, puts more pressure and sometimes you can hear the articulation from Brett. Eddy on the other hand plays more of a lighter and faster feeling.
Brett: huddled in a corner "I sound bad, I sound bad"
He just said he thought it was Eddy playing.
Here's what I imagine they were thinking in that moment. They are both incredibly supportive of each other, obviously. But I think they both really do feel that Brett has slightly better technique. So, they are both counting on him to be the stronger one in certain circumstances. It's a dynamic that you sometimes encounter in ensembles that have a very positive and trusting atmosphere. You acknowledge the stronger players because they are the ones you rely on and look up to. So, (in reference to the video) when they hear a clip that to them sounds "dodgy", they would PREFER it to be from the "weaker" player, at least, if it has to be one of them. If you are the one everyone is counting on to sound good, then you feel even worse if you think you sound bad, because you've let the ensemble down. That's how I interpreted that moment - not that Brett is egotistical or looking down on Eddy, but that he's actually extremely hard on himself because he feels the added weight of expectations.
@@reepicheepsfriend as a second flute, I wouldn't be insulted if the first-chair flute player heard themselves and thought it was me.
It was so sweet of you to explain your thoughts to us. I (sincerely) appreciate it.
Got 16/20
It's becoming a habit to see some "pictures/paintings" when I heard they're playing.
It's like I see 'bold', 'strong', yet 'clear' paintings on Brett's and 'clean' and 'light/bright' paintings on Eddy's~
Loooove them so much~
your warning saved my ears, thank you
I knew the last one was Ray because Hilary Hahn likes to slur the quarter notes; Ray slurs the first two (as written), and then plays more separate bow strokes. He plays more of what is written. Ray's bowing: slur two, separate, separate, slur two, slur three, etc.
Hilary's: slurs two, slurs four, slurs three, separate, separate, slur two, etc.
Also, I have lately been obsessed with this concerto, and my all-time favorite (surprisingly! I say sarcastically) is Hilary Hahn, and I always noticed how she plays differently than what's written, and have really admired and appreciated how she likes to phrase it, how she somehow keeps that sorta . . . I don't know how to describe it. That tone? It's just as thick, as smooth as other players, yet, different, because it's her own style, and it's just so different, yet so similar, and hmmff, it's so good. Anyways, there's my TedTalk, thank you very much for listening, have a good day!

I'm sad that so many of Twoset's videos are getting unjust copyright claims :( I hope they get more sales with their Apparel. They also have a donate button on their main website contact page. Considering what's happening with YT, I don't think there's anything wrong with putting a donate link in their descriptions... I hope they consider it. YT is a different place these days :( I also can't imagine Twoset getting a patreon - their content is about outreach and education...
Hi guys! I love your videos! I am a violin student, and your videos have motivated me to study and practice 40 hours every day. I have been playing for only 4 years with one of the most well-known teachers in my state. I am so excited to share with you that I have been invited to perform on tour to Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan! Thank you for the inspiration and the amazing videos!

@@anhnguyennguyen9541 Thank you so much! I don't know what it is for other people, but for a 14-year-old, VERY exciting!
Welcome to sg!!!
damn congrats yooooooooo
Maybe because I'm a musician, but you two have very distinctive playing styles. I think many of your fans can recognize the differences because we listen to you both play so often! :D
The comment section is so damn funny istg i just watch the video and scroll the comments along with it it's so dang fun 😂😂😂😂❤️
Editor San should've thrown one in where it was one of you playing, but not on the violin.
I actually think they are lowkey very fine musicians. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the quality and intensity of many of these passages. Very rich and satisfying to listen to. Now, I’m not a huge fan of Bach but Eddy’s Sonata No. 1 Adagio just hit different, man; it warped me to some deserted 16th century field, wind blowing, everything grey and desolate. The all too few bars played said so much. They articulated someone who was gutted and spent - it painted a troubling picture and yet I was hooked and wanted to hear more. Shame it ended. Re: Brett, well the Weinswski Polonaise was just sweet, some of the shifts were golden, tone was nuanced, and some of the complex string crossings where oh so finessed. In one word: Delicious!
Maybe more high key than low key fine musicians then ;)
@@londongael414 Glad I could help. My dream is to judge one of these competitions. I’m not a violinist, but you could say that I’m pretty much the Hilary Hahn among listeners. I actually do listenings where musicians play for me. I don’t teach technique but I point out where there interpretations fall flat. For years many experienced musicians just couldn’t figure out why Lang Lang was wildly popular with audiences. It’s because he knows how to make music. Playing music and making music are two different things. When you learn to bend melodies to your will, you’re halfway there. It’s sort of like being an interpreter or translator. If you stick slavishly to the text - no matter how correct it is - you end up with a dry boring rendition. When you betray the text to make it your own you sometimes end up with the very result the composer intended. The point is to convey ideas not notes. You need the notes, but they are only part of the equation.
@@dmp7252 I think you mean well but your comment reminds me a bit of this old video of twoset's: (add the youtube url at the beginning) /watch?v=PlO5xSWmxmY
@@reepicheepsfriend Hahah - I hear where you’re coming from.
I’m going to call out TwoSet for one of the comments in the video. (It was so funny.) Brett made a comment saying: “Too much technique.” So, Eddy, in a passive-aggressive way, knowing that the connoisseur can’t play that passage goes: “Can you show me how it’s done then?” Low blow, Eddy. It was funny, but it reveals a very interesting dynamic. Don’t expect listeners to have no opinion, at all, of a performance, or to always be congratulatory. You want the most demanding audience you can get! They make you better, and when the victories come, they will be all the sweeter. As far as opinions go, you take what you can use, leave the rest.
But musicians should always play for non-musicians every now and then. You will always get comments that you didn’t expect ... for better or worse.
I'm getting these all right so far. Brett seems to glissando more than eddy. Their vibrato is also very different but eddy points that out
Oh they address the glissando too. Guess I've watched too much of these guys
5:43 Rengoku's about to chop Brett's neck off chill my dude
Oh no this is like the embarassment of listening to your own recordings doubled!! Can't wait!
We need this with pro soloists who have played some of the same pieces. And a prank in there to make them doubt themselves.
I've watched the recent ray chen video an unhealthy amount of times and could straight away tell the ones from that video. Including the ray one at the end lol I'm obsessed with that video 🫣
Brett's reaction is so funny. Thank Editor San for warning. I had to adjust my headphones volume before I watched lol
I love your sound Brett. It’s profound. Keep believing in you.
This is really cool! It's always uncomfortable to hear a recording of yourself but it's really the best way to evaluate yourself
17:43 - that "hacking away" at the violin suggests Eddy.... 100% However... he plays a little more sensitively now :)
Brett: "if you don't wanna sound like us just then, go practice."
Me: "Really if I don't practice I can sound like that? ...I'll take it!"
ikr?? They are so talented that even when they're not sat their best they sound AMAZING to me!!
I’m actually going to start violin soon because of you guys. Thanks you so much for the amazing content and keep on going. You’ll reach 4 mil soon, don’t stop!
I am better at this than Brett and Eddy. Hahaha. The saying goes, 旁观者清, meaning, the bystander is clearer.
Another nice video idea from Twoset!
Basically, Brett tends to play the pieces that are slower and more melodious while Eddy tends to play the pieces that require many strokes in quick succession.
I'm not a musician, but I love TwoSet. This was very interesting and fun to watch. It made me think of how we each don't always recognize who we are, what we do, and how we come across to others. Many times we see a character trait (usually a negative trait) in someone else, but we are totally unaware that we exhibit that exact trait.
I was really hoping that there would be a clip from the 2 boys 1 violin video cause that would be really funny, but I also feel like they avoid that video.
Yeah same I think shippers might have made it weird
@@aforkinsoup Shippers TOTALLY made it weird 😂
Brett not knowing it was him is like me two days ago when I heard a recording of me during rehearsals. I was so surprised it sounded that good that I had to really ask if it was me. You both are so amazing, I know you two poke fun of yourselves but you guys sound INCREDIBLE. Please don’t ever say any different. The 40hrs really pay off 💪🏽
These guys know how to not be not creepy yet amusing
I'm raising my glass to Editor San. That was a heck of a lot of prep work and then editing.
I have come to develop an ear for who plays by their style of playing.
Eddy tends to sound more gritty and aggressive.
Brett tends to rush sometimes but has a more light and airy sound.
Both have their own styles but sound awesome!
I love listening to yall play. Thank you for keeping classical music alive and the humor going. ❤
They are still amazed with their studio love that enthusiasm
Thx for another fun video! And thx to Editor-San for adding both their playing the same parts so we can see/hear the difference between the two.🙃
