Everyone talks about Mozart writing an Overture the morning of the performance, but nobody mentions that the orchestra musicians had to get the parts and PERFORM it THAT NIGHT.
Orchestra musicians (definitely today, and probably back then too) are used to having very little rehearsal time before performing. This may not have been that unusual!
I’m mostly astonished at how anyone got a *copy* of the music! Were they all crowding around a single copy trying to make their own transcription of their part?
You need some sort of communication between the composers in order to make it work. Like for the first two measures, the second part is told what the first note of the first two measures are. Then for the next two measures the second part shares with the first part the first note of each measure. Other than the key and time signature, no other info. This includes the duration of the note shared. It's up to the other composer to decide whether to make a consonance or dissidence on that note. It would probably also be a good idea to select a mood or tempo as an artistic prompt.
So the procedure is first part write 2 measures and share the first notes of each measure. Then the second part composes 4 measures using the notes given from the first as a guide, and then shares with the first part the first two notes of the 3rd and 4th measures. Repeat as desired.
I like how their individuality seems more visual lately. Eddy is expressing his stylish model-like self & Brett seems to be even more of his cute-messy self. Both adorable in their own ways (and fun & interesting & skilled).
I remember when I made a similar challenge with one of my close friends. But instead of two violins, you needed to write a FUGUE for the piano. We had a great time listening to the sacrilegious masterpieces that we created
“Improvise, do not think to much! … Oh it’s 3/4 I forgot” -Brett This is Legendary 😆 I love all your videos so much!!! I get so excited when I see a new video posted lol.
Sometimes old fashion is better, that's right!! OG time: Brett's screaming entrance, technical failure (hello old friend), Brett composing (hello Lofi), sightreading challenge (I want to call this level 40 lol), and reflection time comparing themselves to prodigies (Mozart) lol. These guys have no bottlenecks. They and their team are creative af!! Love it!! 5:40 Waltz in F major 6:29 Nightmare in C# minor (but I kinda like this one!!) Can we also ask for a Part II of this??!!

A belated birthday poem: Dear Eddy (or Michael? ;-)) 30 years, what a joy! It's been long now, since you were a little boy You guys let us all enjoy The wonderful art of classical music, without to annoy Except you and your perfect pitch That can sometimes really be a b*tch But I'm kidding of course You guys are determined, you're a source For everyone, who wants to dive in Into how the heck to play the violin For this you produced a stunning album And a short film, which made our hearts go boom!

Hooray!!!
I actually quite liked the so-called "Nightmare". I love how different Eddy's and Brett's minds are when composing. Brett just wings it and it turns out unexpectedly pretty good. Eddy, on the other hand, actually thinks about what he is doing and it always comes out beautifully. I would like to see you guys write a multi-movemnt piece for two violins (it does not have to be long) and Eddy can write the first movement, Brett can write the final movement, and you guys can work together in the second.
It sounds like the waltz is waltzing (running) from the nightmare and the nightmare is the real person who actually waltz. TLTR, Brett is still a genius in cursed music.
For me (a non-musician), this video is kinda like an intensive talk, not by words but by composition. One minute or two minutes are so short that they can just write down appearing directly in their minds. Swapping is just like to expose what in mind without any disguise to the other. In addition, so surprised that the outcomes are pretty good. Looking forward to listening to the two pieces in completed version.
Both pieces were excellent, but I was especially drawn by the Nightmare in C# minor. Wish it could have gone longer, even into a full length composition.
The second piece was honestly really good and pretty! I would've thought it was a historical piece! The first one is exactly what I thought was going to happen in this video XD
Guys, writing an overture in the morning of a performance is not as hard as you think. Remember its just coping music from the opera that he as already written into a summary. You were having problems coming up with ideas. He already had all of the ideas already done, and now had to combine them into one final thought. Think about taking your top 10 favorite musical excerpts and remixing them into one killer overture. The orchestration, melodies, harmonies, textures, and dynamics have already been done, now its just combining ideas and working on transitions, and maybe adjusting keys to make it all fit. Knowing Mozart, he wrote the Opera in a way that the keys world already work together. Its more of an arrangement exercise than composing. Mozart probably already had a blue print on where things went before he wrote it down.
I just love how I am not a musician and English is not my first language, yet, those two guys never failed in bringing me joy. Just their personalities plus their passion and love to what they do makes me soo happy 😁
it should be a new segment when twoset compose or exploring other genre but add classical element like lo-fi before. It’s really fun and give me an inspiration to make my own🫶🏻 maybe next they can try make violin hip hop music with producer shaun?👀
2:13 This is moment is making me laugh so hard. It's just Brett's face of intense concentration while placing one note. I don't know why, it's just so funny to me! LOL
Will you guys compose anything for your world tour??!! Really look forward to it!! I have to say, you guys are being humble towards your composing ability. Yes you guys are not professional composers and can't compose as fast, but most of the melodies you guys created in the past videos (including this one) sounds good, and most of them are composed on the spot!! I bet they will sound beautiful after some polishing!!
Eddy’s compo was actually nice! Also, I think that what I like best about TSV now, is Brett screeching at the start of every video! Please don’t stop 😂♥️
That was an interesting challenge! Making a composition is not easy but it was fun and educational to watch nonetheless. Makes me even more appreciative of the pieces I love and those that are still to be discovered! ❤
TwoSet's boomer moments: 1:22 - "old fashioned is better!" - grandpa eddy 2:02 - the head banging was phenomenal (and the "oh sh*t...how do I delete notes?") - grandpa brett I got carried away... 2:13 - this one's just funny. 3:25 - it's the "hehæhahähaheæhhe... why?" for me 0:22 , 4:05 - brett's laugh 😳 ok but why was nightmare in c# minor so good...
Also, could you guys put the names of the pieces that are the background music in the description so that it’s easier for the viewers to find them online?

Orchestra musicians (definitely today, and probably back then too) are used to having very little rehearsal time before performing. This may not have been that unusual!
I heard that, by the time of the premiere for that overture, the ink on the musician's sheet music was still wet.
Elissa, that's exactly what I was thinking too! They practically had to sight read hastily written manuscripts for their performance!
@@violinchick25 yes, but that doesn’t make it okay 😅
I’m mostly astonished at how anyone got a *copy* of the music! Were they all crowding around a single copy trying to make their own transcription of their part?
I don’t think we’ve ever had a composition video where someone’s headphones worked correctly on the first try
Not really, if you count them not being connected at the beginning
nope
mine stopped working for a bit lol
I’m sure you guys had to take some composition classes in college. I dare you to dig up some of your old composition assignments and perform them.
I second that
Oh, I like this one!
Ooooo i like that :O
Hahahaha yesss I hope they see this! 😂
I third that
Wow, I was fully expecting the 5/4 one to turn into a nightmare, but that actually came together really nicely!
Yes right! It actually sounded nice
Thought the same. The better of the two...
Lol twoset just made my day and they always put me in a good mood love you guys❤❤
Exactly! In C# minor no less!
Yeah I actually like Nightmare in C# minor better
Editor-San never fails on playing Brett's Lofi on the perfect moment, it just never fails and it never gets old 😂😂😂
Brett created the perfect lofi to be used for perfect moments.
@@mirus6190 Oohh yes he did! 😌
That’s why I love Editor-san so much! Editor-san is so good-humoured!!
Trueee
forget brett and eddy- editor san’s the real main character
“There’s no such thing as a mistake when there’s jazz let’s goooo!!”
-Brett 2023
Now I need a t-shirt with this on it
Jazz lover: Ohhhhhh kay
that c# minor monstrosity actually sounded so nice!!!
Yeah Eddy should compose more. As a composer, C# Minor is a very fun key to compose in if done in the right way.
They should compose a duet but each person can only make one part without seeing or hearing the other.
You need some sort of communication between the composers in order to make it work. Like for the first two measures, the second part is told what the first note of the first two measures are. Then for the next two measures the second part shares with the first part the first note of each measure.

I thought the C sharp minor piece might really be a nightmare but it was unexpectedly elegant and intriguing. Great job, B and E!
I like how their individuality seems more visual lately. Eddy is expressing his stylish model-like self & Brett seems to be even more of his cute-messy self. Both adorable in their own ways (and fun & interesting & skilled).
ive noticed that too!
I've noticed the same! I really like how especially Eddy has started to dress sharper
@@shantar Because Eddy would always wear their merch in every video for the longest time, and he stopped doing it
I know right!

I remember when I made a similar challenge with one of my close friends. But instead of two violins, you needed to write a FUGUE for the piano. We had a great time listening to the sacrilegious masterpieces that we created
That sounds really fun actually 😅
@@blarue1 it was!!! you can do it with anyone who can compose and have an amazing time
Each video exceeds chaos on a supreme level
It will never stop
*exudes
Love how Eddy actually tries to compose, while Brett is just pulling a Mozart
Yes!!! that is so true! XD

A belated birthday poem:
Dear Eddy (or Michael? ;-))
30 years, what a joy!
It's been long now, since you were a little boy
You guys let us all enjoy
The wonderful art of classical music, without to annoy
Except you and your perfect pitch
That can sometimes really be a b*tch
But I'm kidding of course
You guys are determined, you're a source
For everyone, who wants to dive in
Into how the heck to play the violin
For this you produced a stunning album
And a short film, which made our hearts go boom!
You changed into different outfits
There was Beethoven and Tschaik with his wits
But also Bach, the genius composer
He for sure, wasn't just a poser
But that wasn't all, oh not at all
Paganini, the devil's violinist, came in fall
To take on the K-pop group Black Pink
And thus anger all the Blinks
La Campanella is for sure, your piece
And the ring of your bell didn't cease
You played it again, after Brett's Mendi
And the Bach double, the second movement sweet like candy
Everyone admired your courage
To play it as an encore, what a savage!
And then, there was another dress up
During the fierce instrument battle against the guy who says "What's up!"
Our queen Edwina came
On stage to save violin-chan with her flame
Her beauty and magnificent playing
You captured everone's heart, that goes without saying
We can't wait for whatever you guys are planning
And we wish you, Eddy, God's richest blessing
For your thirtiest birthday!
Hooray!!!
Hooray!!!
Omigoodness I'm late but this is an absolute masterpiece!
I expected the waltz to sound nice and the nightmare to sound... well, like a nightmare, but it ended up being the other way around.🤣
“10 grandpa min later” 😂🤣😂 LMAO 🤣 I love Editor-san!! 🥰
The best🤣

The nightmare in C# minor is actually pretty nice... except for that end.

In addition, so surprised that the outcomes are pretty good. Looking forward to listening to the two pieces in completed version.
Bet completing these is more work than they want to do
The second piece felt very tragic, but beautiful. You guys are honestly great composers.
Eddie:”No! Triplets here! I want triplets here!
Brett: “I DO WHAT I WANT!” 😂😂😂
the "F for FAILURE" by Brett at 0:34 reminds me of Steven He...
"Nightmare in c# minor" is actually pretty nice
6:29 most happiest in Brett’s lofi 😭💀
Both pieces were excellent, but I was especially drawn by the Nightmare in C# minor. Wish it could have gone longer, even into a full length composition.
Let's just say that Editor-San outdid herself on this video. Brett's lofi 🔥
To be honest, that Nightmare in C# Minor was really good!
4:44 is why piano is actually the best instrument. Piano skills translate to EVERY other facet of music!
The second piece was honestly really good and pretty! I would've thought it was a historical piece!
The first one is exactly what I thought was going to happen in this video XD
Why was second one sounding so good 😮
me with my headphones: opens twoset unprepared
brett: pterodactyl screech
at 6:59, i feel that if eddy held his last note with brett and glissed from b to c#, it would have been really cool
Nobody:
Me: dude! brett wearing those shorts is my life 5:39
I love how whenever someone tries to compose something it always starts with scales going up and down.
Okay, so when does Nightmare get a full piece written out for it. Cause that's had the potential to be amazing
As a composer, this makes so happy! This is the first time that I am seeing a composition style video of you guys! Great job, Brett and Eddy!
I agree!
They have others
@@Romy--- I have seen them, but this is a unique challenge!

Oh, and, while you're at it, make it the GOAT of overtures...no biggie...
lets all appreciate the way the music got louder and more dramatic as eddy revealed his key signature - 0:51
6:23 this piece was beautiful despite of its name 😂
I just love how I am not a musician and English is not my first language, yet, those two guys never failed in bringing me joy. Just their personalities plus their passion and love to what they do makes me soo happy 😁
You guys inspire mw so much you have no idea. Bwcause of you ive gotten my motivation to practice back!
@Sara Hristov, I agree!
I really liked the C sharp minor piece. Hope they will play both of them again after some rehearsal.
That's actually a really pleasant nightmare :D
Loving Brett's fabulous entrances, and not to mention Editor-San's amazing editing skills 😅 "Nightmare in C# Minor" 😂
The Brett's lofi will never gets old
The second piece was great! What a nice surprise!
it should be a new segment when twoset compose or exploring other genre but add classical element like lo-fi before. It’s really fun and give me an inspiration to make my own🫶🏻 maybe next they can try make violin hip hop music with producer shaun?👀
"Improvise! Do not think too much!"
That's professionalism right there.
2:13 This is moment is making me laugh so hard. It's just Brett's face of intense concentration while placing one note.
I don't know why, it's just so funny to me! LOL
Eddy has been getting himself so trendy! All those shirts, glasses, necklace,rings, earrings….🎉
Brett’s craziness is a classic beginning!!!! Love it 😍
Will you guys compose anything for your world tour??!! Really look forward to it!! I have to say, you guys are being humble towards your composing ability.

It's not TwoSet without technical difficulties.
The second one was surprisingly nice!
Both of those songs sound absolutely AMAZING.
The first one… not so much, eh.
Eddy’s compo was actually nice!
Also, I think that what I like best about TSV now, is Brett screeching at the start of every video! Please don’t stop 😂♥️
It's my 13th birthday today and I have just finished a concert with my youth orchestra.
Congratulations!
Major props to Editor-san! This must have taken forever to edit, and it's done so well!! 👏
I think this the 4th episode in a row without their lights on🥲
Okay, but like, those actually sounded amazing!
Been writing a cello concerto spent 3 days so far 10 hours a day so far. Only on first mvt 4 minutes in it certainly take a lot.
I wasn't expecting the C# minor and 5/4 composition to be the better sounding one
We definitely need more of these!! And definitely invite Hilary Hahn and Sophie Druml!!
Its not a Twoset video without Brett screaming.
stay iconic
That was an interesting challenge! Making a composition is not easy but it was fun and educational to watch nonetheless. Makes me even more appreciative of the pieces I love and those that are still to be discovered! ❤
4:50 “i’ll do what I wanna do” hahaa so cheeky Bretty
This sounds like such a fun idea. Shame I don't have any friends to do it with 😂
Good to have you guys back! We have missed you ever since your concerts started!
the second piece is actually pretty fucking cooool
The ‘Nightmare in C# minor’ had a Shostokovitch vibe to it. I liked it.❤.
Do it again but for a different instrument swapping with someone who plays that instrument.
Played their Nightmare in c# minor and the mouse outside in my balcony digging trash there leaved
Thank you
I love how Brett is always the old grandpa, trying to figure out how technology works in every single video 😂😂
1:41 "hehehe" - Brett, 2023
TwoSet's boomer moments:
1:22 - "old fashioned is better!" - grandpa eddy
2:02 - the head banging was phenomenal (and the "oh sh*t...how do I delete notes?") - grandpa brett
I got carried away...
2:13 - this one's just funny.
3:25 - it's the "hehæhahähaheæhhe... why?" for me
0:22 , 4:05 - brett's laugh 😳
ok but why was nightmare in c# minor so good...
If only my nightmares were as good as that
C# Minor, 5/4
i already knew it would be a chaotic video. But liked it as always. Love u guys and HAPPY BELATED BDAY TO EDDY!
Brett and Eddy as composers they are great violinists
😂 love the way brett claps like a seal!! great compositions guys!! Love it 😌
Petition for Brett and Eddy to refine the Nightmare piece and perform it in the World tour 🎉
that 5/4 piece though, damnn
Aww~ Why is Brett getting cuter & more adorable in each episode!! 🥰💕
I love how they're posting like they're on fire nowadays ❤
The c# minor piece sounded quite nice! I’d love a part 2 of this with more challenges in place next time!
Sitting in my bathroom, clicked the noti, got jumpscared by that scream, almost dropped my phone 😭
Not just Eddy being rlly chill w using Sibelius and Brett like “HoW DO yOu Put In A NoTe” 💀
You know it’s going to be a good video when it starts with Brett screaming
I NEED PART2!!! thank you❤
Has Eddy stopped wearing TwoSet Apparel??
The Nightmare C# minor just sounds like the second movement of Dvorak’s serenade for strings lol. But I like it though💓
Just reading the title is enough to realise that thisll be full on chaos
Also, could you guys put the names of the pieces that are the background music in the description so that it’s easier for the viewers to find them online?
In the meantime, you can check the comments to see if someone's kindly listed the pieces like Charmen did for this one
Check the comments. There is a thread that lists many if them.
"Nightmare in C# Minor" is such *an absolute BOP.!?*
Eddy wants the triplets like a kid asking for 🍬 🍫 🍭
