Can we just give some props to Anna Magdalena (Bach's second wife)? I mean first of all she 13 pregnancies go full term and 12 others that resulted in miscarriages. She spent almost 15 years of her life pregnant. All the while she transcribed by hand all the individual sheets of music for every instrument on every piece he wrote. On top of that she managed the schedules, concerts and events for her kids as well as the ones she inherited from Maria Barbara. Oh and she worked as a soloist for multiple other composers. She absolutely would have a show on Bravo called Bach in Style.
Perhaps so, but Johann took out the garbage and wrote a few pieces in his spare time. Also, rumor has it Johann could make a quiche-lorraine to die for!
@@mandch5990 Totally agree with you on that ! 🤗 I'm a big fan of Jordon and his work. He's been part of the TwoSet adventure almost since the start. Over the years, he wrote several pieces / arrangements for their videos, the most recent being "C.B.F.", "Cabbage" and, of course, the beautiful "Prelude". But he is also the mastermind behind their live concerts : the "Concerto Battle," the "Jingle Bells - Paganini 24 Mash-up", the "Totoro x Beauty and the Beast Medley", and all the music of their special show in Hong Kong in 2017, which included an entire orchestra and a choir !

Its actually too bad that people recognise music and their composers based on their quality, not gender, if the female composer isn't that famous, it might be because that her work isn't as great as the big names out there, but not because of her gender. There are plenty of female composers who are great and thus noticed

And if the Four Seasons can be an entry point to Vivaldi's repertoire or even better an entry point to classical music (and I'm pretty sure that has happened), well why not ?
Vivaldi is so much more than the 4 seasons, his stabat mater is amazing, his mandolin and lute concertos are sublime, the flute concertos are full of beauty, and his operas are very underrated, he is a master of italian music and his four seasons I think are very overrated in his catalogue, even though I love the winter concerto as a whole, this is why pop culture and mainstream promotion hurts classical composers and their work
As someone who know little about classical music and his works specifically, may you give me recommendations on what pieces from him should I listen to?
That is practically all of them: Beethoven, Vivaldi, Joplin, Paganini, Liszt, Dvôrak, etc. There is not a single composer who has lived past 30 without being depressed.
1. He was born during an earthquake. 2. He was a redhead. (Europeans stigmatised red hair in his day, and in ancient times, they used to sacrifice red heads to the late gods. At school, he was a parody because of his classmates' bias towards red hair. He wore a wig the rest of his life to avoid this.) 3. He died poor, even though his compositions are making millions. 4. He had five siblings. Calls for mild poverty, obviously. (His family was middle class.) 5. He could not speak properly due to asthma, which he was born with and did not develop as a child. 6. Other composers were given credit for his work due to his unfavourable status in the society. (Did you know that he wrote about 800 works, most of which you do not know about. The four seasons are just the tip of the iceberg. Only now is his music being gradually discovered and accredited to him.) 7. A univeristy got built over his grave, and now it is lost. Need I say more? 😢
Paganini: its too easy. its too easy. its still too easy. me: *looks at first bar* its too hard. *looks at second bar* its still too hard. *flips to last page* IT GETS WORSE
For those of you who need further explanation: 00:00 *Bach* : He had 20 children with two wives. Bach also did arrange a meeting with another prolific composer of that era, Handel. But in the end they never met. 00:46 *John Williams* : He has made many amazing and recognizable movie soundtracks for movies like Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc. His music is well known to be 'inspired' by composers like Holst, Dvorak, Korngold, and others. 1:07 *Vivaldi* : Yep we all know him for his famous set of 4 violin concertos, The Four Season. Of course he got lots of other outstanding works, but yeah just see all the talent shows that play Summer all the time :D 1:40 *Mozart* : Mozart was a prodigy. He could learn a piece for just 30 minutes by the age of 4. He was once got drunk the night before the premiere of Don Giovanni even though he hasn't finished the overture. Then, he finished it for about 3 hours at midnight while being tipsy, and finish the piece the same day at the premiere. 2:18 *Paganini* : He is very well known for his unquestionably hard 24 caprices. They are technically very hard, period. 3:59 *John Cage* : 4 minutes 33 seconds of silence is art, change my mind. 4:26 *Shostakovich* : He combined a variety of different musical techniques into his pieces influenced by composers like Stravinsky and Mahler. He was born during the Russian Revolution, that's why his music is obligated to conform the ideals of the Soviet Regime, sounding patriotic. 5:07 *TWOSETVIOLIN* : LEGEND. CHANGE MY MIND.
This is the third time they did this to John Williams. I get the feeling that, even though it was explained to them by various commenters in their previous posts about John Williams, Twoset still doesn't understand how the relationship between a Film Director and Film Composer works in terms of temp tracks when creating a rough edit of a film. Sigh.

4:26 If you're wondering the piece being played is shostakovich symphony no.11 Which is written telling a story on the 1905 revolution. Thats why it has lots of percussion and battle sounds represented though the high notes. The percussion represent the gun fire on the innocent civilians.

Brett absolutely nailed it with the Shostakovich impression - the glasses, his look and even the way he spoke and shook his head was so on point! The romantic composer one is also good, and like Vivaldi with his 500 concertos 😂
It’s pretty sad that many female composers are really underrated. Let’s give them some love (Read below) Edit: I really love that you guys are recommending so many female composers! It really broadens my knowledge on music :) No matter female or male, both genders are aMaZiNg! Every composer must’ve done a very good job and I appreciate the music they’ve composed!

If some of you are uncomfortable with the conversation below, you may just look through the composer suggestions or leave!! Once again I’m so sorry and I love you all so much 😅🥰
Also if you noticed - they played the Mendelssohn violin concerto, and it's thought that some of the compositions attributed to Felix Mendelssohn were in fact composed by his sister, Fanny Mendelssohn. 😂

Have you played "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" by Mozart already?" "Nah I didn't" "Don't worry, you'll get there eventu- " "Anyway look at this Polonaise in g-minor I wrote the other day, what do you think?" " *surprised Pikachu face* "

@@bruh7130 and as for nowadays if there are fewer female composers maybe it's because of a lack of representation in classical music. Representation matters mate. (I'm not educated on this subject though so this is just speculation on my part)
@@aceatlasska4343 Representation? It is statistically true that there were FAR FAR more male composers than female composers in the past, so to have an equal number of people from each gender is lack of representation for males
John Cage was apparently compelled to compose 4’ 33” after being in an anechoic chamber for some period of time. Although he expected the place to be entirely devoid of sound, he heard two sounds which he later learned were his nervous system and [something else, I forgot]. He realized from this that silence is never truly silent, and thus was inspired to compose 4’ 33”.
Vivaldi was a charitable man who wrote music for a girl's orphanage :D He is one of those composers who is actually not a stuffy old man but an amazing dude who gave incredible opportunities to those poor girls
Yeah; but he was super resilient too! And he had a fantastic sense of humour- check out the Ninth Symphony and the Antiformalist Rayok! Honestly, he’s probably one of the most fascinating historical figures in my opinion.
Violin Concerto in A Minor, RV 356 Violin Concerto in A Minor, RV 522 Concerto Alla Rustica in G Major, RV 151 Violin Concerto in Eb Minor, 253 Flute Concerto 1 in F Major, RV 433 Not to mention his lute concertos and choral pieces But go off, I guess. I will never understand why Vivaldi is a meme. Are his Four Seasons that overplayed?
It's just that Mendelssohn's sister was supposedly as good as Mendelssohn, but he became more successful because he was a male. I don't think there's anything about stealing the piece in this instance
@@bruh7130 Fanny was not his wife, but his sister, and she was as much a prodigy as he was. There are anecdotes about how people admired her work even more than that of her brother, but she was told by their father and her brother that she couldn't pursue music (piano and composing) as a job because she was a woman. Felix Mendelssohn did publish a few of her works under his name. So yes, he became more successful because he was male and allowed to pursue music. Whose music is better is probably a matter of taste.
1:10 The reason why the four seasons are the one Vivaldi is most known for is because most of his works were lost in a fire. It was all in a theater that got burn in Venice, the phoenix theater. It burned again in the 20th century, by the way. He might not been as prolific as some of the others, but at his time he was a great opera composer. We just don't have most of them.
El teatro del que hablas no existía en la época de Vivaldi . De hecho la única obra que existe de Vivaldi en Venecia es un aria de ópera. El resto están dispersas por toda Europa. La gran mayoría está en turin Italia. Y actualmente existen más de 600 obras disponibles de las más de 800 que tiene. Vivaldi es de hecho uno de los compositores que más obras tiene y el primer compositor en la historia en hacer más de un tipo de pieza. Pues en su catálogo hay desde conciertos para diversos instrumentos, hasta, operas, cantatas y música sacra.
@@liliaesperanza4436 You are right that much of his works survived, but at his time, like any other italian composer, he was best known for his operas. Out of 94 he claimed to have written, only 16 complete pieces survived. La Fenice (the fenix), today's Venice main opera house was built after the fire of 1774 that burned down San Benedetto, which was the former main theater. However, as it turns out, that wasn't where Vivaldi composed his pieces. It was San Angelo. But this one also ended up out of the picture. It was sold and converted into a warehouse in 1804. Who knows if the works there were preserved? Venice was one of the main opera places and Vivaldi was one of the main opera figures in Venice for a long time. It stand to reason that losing more than 80% of that work compromised his legacy.
While other peeps are simping for Brett or Eddy, I'm low-key simping for Jordon.

5. He could not speak properly due to asthma, which he was born with and did not develop as a child.
6. Other composers were given credit for his work due to his unfavourable status in the society. (Did you know that he wrote about 800 works, most of which you do not know about. The four seasons are just the tip of the iceberg. Only now is his music being gradually discovered and accredited to him.)
7. A univeristy got built over his grave, and now it is lost.

For those of you who need further explanation:
00:00 *Bach* : He had 20 children with two wives. Bach also did arrange a meeting with another prolific composer of that era, Handel. But in the end they never met.
00:46 *John Williams* : He has made many amazing and recognizable movie soundtracks for movies like Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc. His music is well known to be 'inspired' by composers like Holst, Dvorak, Korngold, and others.
1:07 *Vivaldi* : Yep we all know him for his famous set of 4 violin concertos, The Four Season. Of course he got lots of other outstanding works, but yeah just see all the talent shows that play Summer all the time :D
1:40 *Mozart* : Mozart was a prodigy. He could learn a piece for just 30 minutes by the age of 4. He was once got drunk the night before the premiere of Don Giovanni even though he hasn't finished the overture. Then, he finished it for about 3 hours at midnight while being tipsy, and finish the piece the same day at the premiere.
2:18 *Paganini* : He is very well known for his unquestionably hard 24 caprices. They are technically very hard, period.
3:59 *John Cage* : 4 minutes 33 seconds of silence is art, change my mind.
4:26 *Shostakovich* : He combined a variety of different musical techniques into his pieces influenced by composers like Stravinsky and Mahler. He was born during the Russian Revolution, that's why his music is obligated to conform the ideals of the Soviet Regime, sounding patriotic.
5:07 *TWOSETVIOLIN* : LEGEND. CHANGE MY MIND.
5:07 is Jordon He

This is the third time they did this to John Williams.

4:26 If you're wondering the piece being played is shostakovich symphony no.11 Which is written telling a story on the 1905 revolution. Thats why it has lots of percussion and battle sounds represented though the high notes. The percussion represent the gun fire on the innocent civilians.

Everybody: WoOoOow FoUr sEaSonS
i love the four seasons, 'cause they're really great, but the other concertos are so underrated!
@@brot_isch_besser_2137 yeah there is so many others equally great
J. S. Bach made a lot of arrangements of vivaldi's violin concertos for organ, harpsichord, multiple harpsichord
Greatest hit of the 1700s
Gloria and lauda Jerusalem are great.
Brett laughing as Mozart is best thing ever. He did great acting job...Also Shostakovich was nicely played...
The Mozart: likes poop jokes, pranks, and is low-key the greatest talent in existence.
I would HIGHLY recommend listening to the Opera After Dark podcast episode where they discuss Mozartian scatology. It never fails to make me laugh!
Has anyone seen Bart Simpson and Mozart in the same room together?
@@JillyCookeMusic That sounds great, do you maybe know where I can find this? Thanks!
Vivaldi's other concertos are legitimately impressive, honestly some of the most underrated works I've heard.
Not to mention his operas, some of the finest in the repertoire, IMO.
they're also really fun to play imo.
Amen ! I hope to see twoset play more of his fabulous concertos, (especially the stravaganza) !
Bassoon concertos are nice
Brett absolutely nailed it with the Shostakovich impression - the glasses, his look and even the way he spoke and shook his head was so on point! The romantic composer one is also good, and like Vivaldi with his 500 concertos 😂
I feel bad for Vivaldi... I actually like other pieces of his better than The Four Seasons. Though those are great, too, of course.
It’s pretty sad that many female composers are really underrated. Let’s give them some love
(Read below)
Edit: I really love that you guys are recommending so many female composers! It really broadens my knowledge on music :) No matter female or male, both genders are aMaZiNg! Every composer must’ve done a very good job and I appreciate the music they’ve composed! Thank you so much everyone ❤️
Edit 2: Dear lord I didn’t mean to start a conflict,, I’m so sorry TwoSet and everyone 😥 I understand everyone has differing opinions, you guys can have a friendly debate but please do not dispute with one another!! If some of you are uncomfortable with the conversation below, you may just look through the composer suggestions or leave!! Once again I’m so sorry and I love you all so much 😅🥰
Also if you noticed - they played the Mendelssohn violin concerto, and it's thought that some of the compositions attributed to Felix Mendelssohn were in fact composed by his sister, Fanny Mendelssohn. 😂
Agreed! Rachel Portman is a good example.

"Nah I didn't"
"Don't worry, you'll get there eventu- "

Female composer
*TWOSET portraying facts*
Its actually too bad that people recognise music and their composers based on their quality, not gender, if the female composer isn't that famous, it might be because that her work isn't as great as the big names out there, but not because of her gender. There are plenty of female composers who are great and thus noticed
@@bruh7130 idk anything about nowadays but in the past being female was an obstacle to being a composer...
@@bruh7130 and as for nowadays if there are fewer female composers maybe it's because of a lack of representation in classical music. Representation matters mate. (I'm not educated on this subject though so this is just speculation on my part)
@@aceatlasska4343 Representation? It is statistically true that there were FAR FAR more male composers than female composers in the past, so to have an equal number of people from each gender is lack of representation for males
@@aceatlasska4343 In the past, yes that might have been true, but the process doesn't matter, the end result matters.
The fact that they called using a shoulder rest and mini violin is hilarious

„I‘d rather be dead“
*Mozart requiem intensifies*
John Cage was apparently compelled to compose 4’ 33” after being in an anechoic chamber for some period of time. Although he expected the place to be entirely devoid of sound, he heard two sounds which he later learned were his nervous system and [something else, I forgot]. He realized from this that silence is never truly silent, and thus was inspired to compose 4’ 33”.
Vivaldi was a charitable man who wrote music for a girl's orphanage :D He is one of those composers who is actually not a stuffy old man but an amazing dude who gave incredible opportunities to those poor girls
Very true!
Yes but they were not allowed to perform outside the orhanage and not even after being married. So he wasn't as charitable as you think !

@@Aezandris He became more successful because he was a male? Thats absolute bullshit, its too bad that he composed better music that his wife
@@bruh7130 może byś tak przestał...
@@bruh7130 Fanny was not his wife, but his sister, and she was as much a prodigy as he was. There are anecdotes about how people admired her work even more than that of her brother, but she was told by their father and her brother that she couldn't pursue music (piano and composing) as a job because she was a woman. Felix Mendelssohn did publish a few of her works under his name. So yes, he became more successful because he was male and allowed to pursue music. Whose music is better is probably a matter of taste.
Which schostakovich symphony is that
It's genuinely terrifying
Shostakovich Symphony no. 11
And then there's the going-deaf composer, Beethoven, who decided to ramp up the volume so high you can feel the vibrations through your padded chair.
"At least you're still composing, not decomposing."
And of course, the male had to steal from the female composer.
1:10 The reason why the four seasons are the one Vivaldi is most known for is because most of his works were lost in a fire. It was all in a theater that got burn in Venice, the phoenix theater. It burned again in the 20th century, by the way. He might not been as prolific as some of the others, but at his time he was a great opera composer. We just don't have most of them.
El teatro del que hablas no existía en la época de Vivaldi . De hecho la única obra que existe de Vivaldi en Venecia es un aria de ópera. El resto están dispersas por toda Europa. La gran mayoría está en turin Italia. Y actualmente existen más de 600 obras disponibles de las más de 800 que tiene. Vivaldi es de hecho uno de los compositores que más obras tiene y el primer compositor en la historia en hacer más de un tipo de pieza. Pues en su catálogo hay desde conciertos para diversos instrumentos, hasta, operas, cantatas y música sacra.
@@liliaesperanza4436 You are right that much of his works survived, but at his time, like any other italian composer, he was best known for his operas. Out of 94 he claimed to have written, only 16 complete pieces survived.
La Fenice (the fenix), today's Venice main opera house was built after the fire of 1774 that burned down San Benedetto, which was the former main theater. However, as it turns out, that wasn't where Vivaldi composed his pieces. It was San Angelo. But this one also ended up out of the picture. It was sold and converted into a warehouse in 1804. Who knows if the works there were preserved?
Venice was one of the main opera places and Vivaldi was one of the main opera figures in Venice for a long time. It stand to reason that losing more than 80% of that work compromised his legacy.
