So I guess 2nd violins are like altos in musical theatre? They have the weirdest harmony and are underrated but are the actual heroes who support the melody and make the sound fuller... right? (I'm a proud alto lol)
Kind of. Speaking as a biased violinist, the first violin part is often much harder and requires more skill. The harmony of an alto can often be harder than the melody of the soprano.
I agree with you (I know I’m super late). Here’s how I think the strings and the choir line up: Soprano: 1st violin Alto: 2nd violin Tenor: Viola- they’re never really in tune and we never have enough of them Bass: cello/bass
I like how some of the comments say "Ling Ling doesn't know what a second violin is", while the others say "Ling Ling can play all the parts simultaneously"
0:28 “I don’t know any second violin parts because I only play first violin parts” Can’t relate, I’ve been in second violin my entire life :,))))))))))))
well actually, you could say that they do their job best when that's the case. You hear bad parts easily, but if they support and direct the focus to what should be in the foreground, that's what they were written for essentially (most commonly). Right?
3:42 Just in case anyone doesn't know, 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese/Taiwanese culture because the word "four" sounds similar to the word "death".
What about 'know the symphony by just listening to the triangle part'? 😉 But seriously: you should do this second violin challenge again - but with symphonies.
Hahahaha. Can tell that Eddy is more of a "breadth" person, while Brett is more of a "depth" person when it comes to knowledge-accumulating preference.
Just amazed with myself. As a non musician, a worst tone-deaf one, I can guess that the 3rd one is Tchaik's. So happy that I got it right since all my classical music knowledge I got from this channel 😭😂
I feel ashamed to comment this but eddy looks so good in this video…😳😅 (Please don’t leave me alone with this😬) Black suits you eddy😌 and this hairstyle too
When i was in middle school i was first chair for first violins and my teacher we had an ode to joy arrangement and when my teacher asked me to play second violin part i said this is so different from first violins. And then he goes learn second violin parts you are an advanced player. Then i said i dont know any second violin parts i only know first violin parts. My teacher got MEGA TRIGGERED
Hurrah for your teacher! He knew that playing second violin, playing in a section not as principal (so you learn what it's like to follow), and, if possible, also playing viola all contribute to making you a better concertmaster.
13:30 and 4 years later they performed the Bach double with a full orchestra. Guess now you guys would know the 2nd violin part for that piece right? 😉
Spending my sudden, unexpected time in hospital watching you two. Yesterday was Night One of ?? And I learned then that Brett had also taken ill. I'm so glad to see you over it. I can't practice piano and guitar 40 hrs / day from hospital bed - but I can learn and laugh with you two. Keep it up!
I always get lost in the middle of second violin parts and when the whole orchestra stops Ive occasionally carried on making everyone stare at me *intensely*
2:00
"I know it"
"You know it?"
"No. But I've played it"
"You've played it?"
"No, I haven't played it"
Hello 123456789
RAHHHHH
Your profile picture got me...EVERY TIME!!
omg i literally paused and rewatched that part bc it didn’t make sense😂😂
Ahh your profile pic... Thought my phone cracked

Arturo Romero I don’t think you understand what we’re saying
DevRon’s trash dump oh i very much understand what is being said. That’s why i related it to my life
It’s just joke
Legend says to this day Ling Ling still doesn’t know what a second violin is.
Ling ling knows all
kat re To Ling Ling, they're all just backup violins.
Legend says that he doesn’t know because he’s focused on actual instruments
He knows what they are, but he would never dare lower himself to their level
Ling Ling plays the first and second violin at the same time.
doctor: it’s okay. eddy monster can’t hurt you. It doesn’t exist
eddy monster: 0:02
I died at that part
I squealed when i click the time stamp even though i knew what was coming
Why i keep repeating tht part🤣🤣
Eddy vampire: Hsss~
周立言 NOOOO OMG I'M DYING😂😂😂
Did I just witness a wire stand that didn’t immediately fall apart and erupt into flames?
I watched that video too xD
Francisco Fragoeiro oh yeah how to be a musician
Francisco Fragoeiro Which video was that?
What a miracle

I'd say it's more like Soprano 2, violists are altos
I agree with you (I know I’m super late). Here’s how I think the strings and the choir line up:
Soprano: 1st violin
Alto: 2nd violin
Tenor: Viola- they’re never really in tune and we never have enough of them
Bass: cello/bass
Oh and also altos tend to get a very repetitive part (like the same note 16 times in a row) and it is very similar to the 2nd violin parts.
I really think viola would be closer to that
I like how some of the comments say "Ling Ling doesn't know what a second violin is", while the others say "Ling Ling can play all the parts simultaneously"
ellie both are true.
Ling ling doesn't need to know the part to play it
I really like your profile picture ellie!
both are correct
Ling Ling plays all the parts, therefore, there is no need for a Violin 2.
Brett: *is welcoming the audience*
Eddy: *demonic screeches*
Ling Ling can play all of the parts at once.
weasel But he doesn't, he plays the solo part, Ling Ling always soloist.
Ling Ling is da king
weasel, my music teacher can actually play 2nd violin parts and 1st violin parts at the same time. Sometimes he plays the viola part as well.
Who's ling ling?
It used to be Kachikawawa. Now it's all Ling Ling. What happened? XD
And I thought the woodwind part was boring.... respect for the second violins for not dying.
Emma L. I am not boring. (I is flute)
yuri. chr I play flute too but sometimes the parts suck
Ha try looking at a horn part 😭😭😭😭😭
@@mo0_th only sometimes but most of the time its just EMOTIONAL WHOLE NOTE and then rests and then S I X T E E N T H N O T E S
@@paulinapruss2733 True. But what if woodwind players don't enjoy that?
I literally don't even play violin, how did I end up here?
Serenity Henry that’s most of us. I play flute
Yeah percussionist here ! 🤙🏽
Serenity Henry pianist and artist- stay a while, it will be worth it
Violist (don't laugh)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry I just had to.

Edie: “I know what it is. Imma look this way”
Brett: “is ittt...”
Edie: *facing the wall “I don kno I don kno” 😂😂 he’s so cute
I'm not trying to be that annoying correction guy but his name is Eddy
Jesus eddy what was that
Natalie Alfera for real, the first five seconds and I was already laughinh :D
Natalie Alfera OKAY I LEGIT THOUGHT THAT BRETT WOULD DO THE WEIRD ENTRANCE-
Cockroach eddy????
More like when Malfoy pretends to be a dementor and goes ‘Wooooooooh...’

Eddy: *it's definately not Beethoven*
Answer: Beethoven
*clapping from the distance*
First they guess Beethoven and it was Mozart. Then they guess Mozart and it was Beethoven, truly a sad day.
lolololololllllllllllllllll
AND THEY SPELLED MOZART WRONG. Why are there no furious comments about that?! :'D
13:47 _let us cherish this moment together_
I'd literally save it as my ringtone lmao
you should play "akinator" and have it guess composers
Should have it guess Ling Ling
@@eppurusokallio2989 I tried and it wasn't able to guess lol
Yasssss , this is my dream !!!
It can’t guess who’s Ling ling
@@Yj-zf5rd it can now, I tried and Akinator guessed it right after 7 questions lol
0:28 “I don’t know any second violin parts because I only play first violin parts”
Can’t relate, I’ve been in second violin my entire life :,))))))))))))
Itz M same
Jeffree star voice *cant relate*
same
*can relate* , fuck.
Same, sometimes third violin. People forget the third violins.
"I don't know any second violin parts. Cause I only play first violin parts."
I'm not gonna lie, but same.
liar
Steve Qin
Yeah you're right. I actually did first violin second. I learned to play the Piano first.
I'm the opposite
Ling Ling: I don’t know any first violin parts cuz I only play solo.
*sad tears of sadness*
Oh wow, a normal int-
0:03
Nevermind.
Eddy killed me 😂😂😂
YASS SAME
Boys with fun kinda vibes
Tru! ^^
2nd violins are the unsung heroes, an orchestra is nothing without them yet all the attention is on first ;(
Not even first violin - all attention goes to the soloist!
Maggie Yeung there isn’t necessarily a soloist in every orch 🤷🏻♀️
they were playing mostly if not all concertos. There's always a concertmaster in an orchastra, no?
Maggie Yeung uhhhh idk
well actually, you could say that they do their job best when that's the case. You hear bad parts easily, but if they support and direct the focus to what should be in the foreground, that's what they were written for essentially (most commonly). Right?
Eddy: **has perfect pitch**
Also Eddy: **plays in the wrong key**
4:40 In Brett’s whiny voice (aka his interpretation of the comment section) “But Ling Ling can guess all of them in tw- negative 5 seconds.” 😂
Another Awesome Fangirl, that made me laugh WAY TO HARD! THANK YOU!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Xd
Sushi XD LMAOOO i read that as Brett said it 😂
3:42 Just in case anyone doesn't know, 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese/Taiwanese culture because the word "four" sounds similar to the word "death".

Why is 8 considered lucky?

I love the friendship you guys have
Brett's statement is the very reason why 2nd violinists think us first violinists are cocky lol
YT: First seconds of your video have to encourage the audience.
Eddy: 0:03
Guessing 2nd violin would be easy for me
considering I've only been 2nd my entire life no matter what level of playing I have
No Name Same😂😂😂
So relatable 😩
When your 2nd in twinkle and Mary had a little lamb😑
Same😂😂😂
Same :') #forever2ndviolin
so that cute painting is made by eddy? i can see his initials at the bottom right. this boi talented af.
hmmMM
11:40 Eddy saying Saint-Saëns is my cup of tea. That was hot
agreed
@mae i have a boyfriend but same HAHA
I would smash

Selena King YAS :D
It's in the vibes

Brett is totally adorable
Omg I found another person who loves Brett. I adore his gap moe.
As a second violin I feel violated.
VIOLAted
Oof
Omg same tho😂😂
same
same bruh
2:40 was so adorable.
It's like how classic music fans lose their sh!t.
What about 'know the symphony by just listening to the triangle part'? 😉 But seriously: you should do this second violin challenge again - but with symphonies.
laertesdd I want to see this
I guess I could do that because as a percussionist, I play the triangle very often ;-;
That would be easier, because second violins actually have somewhat significant parts in symphonies a lot more than concertos.
Hahahaha. Can tell that Eddy is more of a "breadth" person, while Brett is more of a "depth" person when it comes to knowledge-accumulating preference.
9:05 That eye contact OMGGG
OMG THAT WAS INTENSE.

1:48 i never realize that eddy can be so cute XD
Why did Brett have to scream like that in 2:45 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

rip us violists
They're just silence....

Is Toni the editor-san???
Who’s Toni?
@@mahboombox7860 she's a flute player, some people say she's Eddy's gf.
check out her channel, it's Flutecookies, she's really sweet.
I was looking for this comment LOL I love how he called “Toni?” Soo gentle and sweet
Kachikawawa C being here? What do you mean?
i don’t like being a second even though their part is important
At least you don’t have the parts that us violists have -_-
Xavier Lee-Llacer that is true
Xavier Lee-Llacer im sorry
This is why I lie about my violin experience then practice once I get the part
- Sheepii - wow 😂
0:03 scared me so badly and I nearly died of a heart attack 😂
EDDY WHY
xhollystr1pe you will be mahler! 😂
Wtfff😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
I don't know why but at 9:50 Brett kind of reminded me of Mr. bean 😂
0:02 my reaction when my teacher says '“oh dont worry violin is actually really easy to learn!“
"HISSSSSSSS"
for what ever reason the picture at 10:43 is very scary
Just amazed with myself. As a non musician, a worst tone-deaf one, I can guess that the 3rd one is Tchaik's. So happy that I got it right since all my classical music knowledge I got from this channel 😭😂

The hair style is so good and suit him

Oh gawd now I see it too
This is like a mood for me but for clarinet. When im handed a piece with second clarinet im like what
Hurrah for your teacher! He knew that playing second violin, playing in a section not as principal (so you learn what it's like to follow), and, if possible, also playing viola all contribute to making you a better concertmaster.
Was that Flutecookies?!! Omg I love her!!
0:00 oh this is just another normal...0:04 OH MY GOSH
I love it...
I miss playing in an orchestra.
I was always second violin, and sure it was boring at first, but you really grow into appreciating it.
Gosh Eddy at 12:47 looks like he's acting like a baby but it's adorable tbh also they act like 5yr olds during these types of games😂
the blip at 4:50 is "when you laugh at your own jokes"
Actually try and play the viola HAVE A CONTEST TO SEE WHO CAN PLAY IT BETTER!
The viola parts!
The moments of recognition when their eyes meet are so funny to watch
13:30 and 4 years later they performed the Bach double with a full orchestra. Guess now you guys would know the 2nd violin part for that piece right? 😉
well I played it and forgot lmao
love that little eddy montage at 6:50 lol
I think the person who gives the correct answers at first is exactly Ling Ling :-0

Don’t worry Brett. We still love you 💗

Ling Ling knows the 5th violin part by heart.
0:23 is that BTS's Boyz With Fun or am I hearing things
Yeah I heard it too
No you're not, I heard it too haha
Minni Lahonen thank you i was looking for this comment i said the same thing 😂
That part is so similar with Run BTS episodes
Hehehehe I was trying to figure it out and then I kinda heard “haha” and I was like yes-
Reminded me of my early childhood when I was in the school orchestra for third violin. Yes, third.
Spending my sudden, unexpected time in hospital watching you two. Yesterday was Night One of ?? And I learned then that Brett had also taken ill. I'm so glad to see you over it. I can't practice piano and guitar 40 hrs / day from hospital bed - but I can learn and laugh with you two. Keep it up!
