HAHAH lmao but don’t they pick random pieces? when i was grade 1 they had this entire book full of random excerpts, and my examiner would just pick one.
Lol, in my school my teacher picks 3 pieces and I *practice* them, then during the day of the exam I play em and 3 exercises and a bunch of scales and sightread 3 smol pieces and u know... the regular stuff. The examiner comes from London just to see a crap beginner messing up the easiest parts😂 Still passed tho
@@shabrina296 because you have to adjust your fingers to be either higher or lower and it's hard to remember and train your fingers to do that with a particular piece especially when there's a lot of them.
The spontaneous Haydn duet was bang. They could totally play that at a fancy AF wedding reception without modification. Also love the reactions when they play a single wrong note - it's like somebody just dropped a spider on their face.
you know eddy is a proffesional musician when he sight reads and actually looks at dynamic markings. Im over here trying to coordinate my left and right hand and sight read two staves and you're telling me I have to crescendo? Bro I'm still trying to figure out if and when I should pedal because there are no fricking pedal markings!
@@Faunarr I personally go 1. Basic notes and basic additions occasionally 2. Basic notes with additions (pedals, dynamics etc) in full on practice mode 3. Polishing
heather mcdougall coordinating a bow is a lot easier to coordinate than two hands playing multiple notes (I play cello and piano and I find it’s a *lot* harder to sightread on the piano )
This comment gave me flashbacks to when I, the only bassist in my orchestra, read and performed as much of both bass parts for Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite as I could. I at one point figured out how to hammer double stops so I could play a pizz and arco part at the same time. My maestro didn’t ask me to do this. No one asked me to do this. I don’t know why I did it but damn if I couldn’t play two parts at once on the bass for a solid 60-70% of the split parts in that piece.

Agreed, but some of his pieces you can change the fingerings to suit your hand size so it's easier to play. All in all Liszt and Chopin is really hard to play cause of technical difficulties.
As a pianist, the most difficult part was reading multiple notes bass and treble, using pedal, applying the tempo and the dynmics, all doing it at the same time
Me a pianist: "oh cool they are sight reading piano pieces." Instantly hears Rachmaninoff prelude in g minor Me: "welp, time to hear one of my favorite pieces botched on a violin"
brett and eddy: *makes tiny mistake* AAAAaaaAAAAaAAaaAa Me practicing: *Makes same 5 mistakes in a row* hey, it's better than last week *proceeds to give up until the next week*
Imagine being Brett/ Eddy's neighbour, and hearing violin playing alternating with OHHH AWWWW ARGHHH every 30 seconds You'd be wondering tf are those guys doing lol
The funny thing is that playing huge intervals on lute-type instruments is pretty easy, certainly more so than playing Rach chords on a full-size piano. Playing really compact chords, though? Uh oh.
Beethoven's Patheitique: Twoset: It has four flats. Me: Exactly what I say when I sightread. Maybe this is why you give an accompanist their score ahead of time, so they don't have to do this. No, seriously, please do this.
rasm0225 No, just thought it was funny because key signatures are nothing to pianists (or at least to me when I'm playing piano). #Relatable as a violinist though because we are in a sharp world, not a flat one. The band lives in a flat one. No pun intended but lol, just realized what I did.
That Bach piece is my nemesis... My teacher had me play this piece for weeks and I was so annoyed because I could never get it quite right... At some point she said that it was finished but I think in reality she had just given up on me 😂😂
that's cause they just completely skipped both the chords and the left hand, so basically they sightread like 1/4 of the music at best, but still failed
Think I fell in love with Eddy a little when he played the Rachmaninoff. I can’t even play that on the piano how did he manage to play it that well, for the first time, on a violin, by just sight reading???
When I learned the Bach prelude, I think it was two weeks just to play the right notes in right hand. I feel so ashamed that a violinist can sightread that just like that 😂
I play both violin and piano and I see both sides of this. As a pianist I still completely agree that we play way to many notes. I've played up to 9 notes at a time with the petal going. Internally screaming and crying the entire time. As a violinist I get so mad at people when they say you're only playing one note playing the violin isn't that easier. Again internally screaming and crying. But I'm a pianist that loves to play in sharps
You know, as someone who has been playing piano for many years, and who also started and stopped violin at one point, I agree. While I laugh at the idea of pianists having "too many notes", and yes it's hard but I love it, I struggled with having good intonation on the violin. I would say both have their difficulties.
“We are sorry, pianists out there” Ahhh, don’t sweat it, we can’t play wilde jagd either edit: now that this comment’s number of likes has expanded to an unimaginable size, I’d like to bring some attention to Sigismond Thalberg’s transcription of Lacrimosa. It’s good. Go listen to it.

As a pianist and violinist his really made me giggle. On occasions when I’ve been teaching the violin in a room with no piano to accompany I’ve often done this 😆
Also my piano teacher when at school advised me to take Grade 8 Musicianship. Very grateful throughout my career that I did. The skills I learnt stood me in good stead both at university ( several decades ago) and beyond.
I never understood the rage of being first... until I saw this video posted 42 seconds ago. So, this is what it feels like... I tell you, it is rather incomparable! Bravo as always, Twoset! (I suppose not quite first! Still, special feelings XD)
The benefit pianists have of having one of the easier instruments to actually make a sound out of, is that you're expected to play pretty much the entire orchestral register for most pieces.

I like how at 3:34, the fingering includes the 8th finger. As a pianist with 8 fingers on each hand, I feel like I was made to play this piece.
it's a 3
Thankfully, it was just a really small 3. Otherwise I would've had to grow three more fingers.
Need a complete duet of Arabesque from you guys!
Yass uwu (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
My friend played this on the piano for her solo at competition!
Yeeeeesss
They always hear our comments so... 🥺
brett and eddy: *makes tiny mistake* AAAAaaaAAAAaAAaaAa
Me practicing: *Makes same 5 mistakes in a row* hey, it's better than last week *proceeds to give up until the next week*
“Everyone knows this piece”
Me: *cries in hole* I don’t
k
I don't either and I play the piano haha
I learned piano and I didn't know it...
@@StefandeJongTV SAME
I’ve been playing for nine years and never heard of it either
“Pianist plays too much note”
so that’s why if we played the note wrong it’s not obvious.
Imagine being Brett/ Eddy's neighbour, and hearing violin playing alternating with OHHH AWWWW ARGHHH every 30 seconds
You'd be wondering tf are those guys doing lol
any instrument: "sightreading is so hard"
me, a pianist: *screams*
(lol being bad at playing piano never gave me so many likes)
@@avi8365 Yeah.... that's a nope.
Organist be like: *kill me*
Me, a pianist too: screams and cries
Two staffs... in two different clefs... at the same time ;-;
The grade 8 sight reading is like a grade 4 piece on piano
IDEA:
Twoset should try sight reading from a distance and each round they get gradually further from the sheet music!
Yes that sounds so cool
oh my god if someone did this to me I would scream
or play with a magnifier 😉 it blurs out the notes
I read IKEA for the first time 😂
good idea!
Never before have I heard someone happy that they got the Rachmaninoff lol.
The funny thing is that playing huge intervals on lute-type instruments is pretty easy, certainly more so than playing Rach chords on a full-size piano. Playing really compact chords, though? Uh oh.
Beethoven's Patheitique:
Twoset: It has four flats.
Me: Exactly what I say when I sightread.
Maybe this is why you give an accompanist their score ahead of time, so they don't have to do this. No, seriously, please do this.
Ashlee Thao yeah. Tbh its easier than grade 8 sight reading
Ai Ling Lim This is true. Grade 8 stuff is entertaining to sightread though, just to see how much you can accomplish.
Otherwise it will sound pathetic haha
Is A Flat really that difficult/uncommon?
rasm0225 No, just thought it was funny because key signatures are nothing to pianists (or at least to me when I'm playing piano). #Relatable as a violinist though because we are in a sharp world, not a flat one. The band lives in a flat one. No pun intended but lol, just realized what I did.
"There's four flats!"
Me: *laughs in G-flat*
Well how's key of B
@@karebuu1383 Cool! Now erxctly what is the problem with that many sharps intreble and bass clef at the same time huh?
*incorrectly laughs in F-sharp*
*laughs in e flat major*
D sharp minor is the worst
Sees a chord
Me: *cries in clarinet*
Multiphonics ;)
Me: cries in saxophone
@@swirlmapping7778 lmaooo
@@swirlmapping7778 it's actually an A Sharp technique not a b flat technique
Cries in trombone
That Bach piece is my nemesis... My teacher had me play this piece for weeks and I was so annoyed because I could never get it quite right... At some point she said that it was finished but I think in reality she had just given up on me 😂😂
Haha same the fugue is a lot more fun though 😂
literally any bach piece no matter what
i’m a pianist myself and the thought of having any of these pieces in an exam situation gives me so anxiety (i’m *really* bad at sight reading)
When a violinist sightreads piano music better than you, a pianist
that's cause they just completely skipped both the chords and the left hand, so basically they sightread like 1/4 of the music at best, but still failed
Think I fell in love with Eddy a little when he played the Rachmaninoff. I can’t even play that on the piano how did he manage to play it that well, for the first time, on a violin, by just sight reading???
everyone falls in love with Eddy a little everytime
He’s classically trained
When I learned the Bach prelude, I think it was two weeks just to play the right notes in right hand. I feel so ashamed that a violinist can sightread that just like that 😂
lizwonder09 yeah but if you practice more sight reading you’ll eventually get there. Sight reading ain’t easy for me either, as a pianist
@@kiute6289 i think it's time for me to get my 40-hours...
When you play both violin and piano.
YES
@Annabelle Phen Lee YES
Evil laughing from pianists. Yes I will love to see your pain as a pianist
Joshua Cruse you mean a painist?
you mean a peanist?
penist
You mean bEaNist?
Welcome to another episode of 'two friends constantly surprised at each other's talent'
one of my fave categories of twoset vids.
I play both violin and piano and I see both sides of this. As a pianist I still completely agree that we play way to many notes. I've played up to 9 notes at a time with the petal going. Internally screaming and crying the entire time. As a violinist I get so mad at people when they say you're only playing one note playing the violin isn't that easier. Again internally screaming and crying. But I'm a pianist that loves to play in sharps
You know, as someone who has been playing piano for many years, and who also started and stopped violin at one point, I agree. While I laugh at the idea of pianists having "too many notes", and yes it's hard but I love it, I struggled with having good intonation on the violin. I would say both have their difficulties.
Same
I play both and I agree
I know! I love sharps too! I can't do flats though... But whenever there's sharps for some reason I sight read them MUCH faster and easier :D
Flats are easier for me. Why is that?
As a pianist myself, I can confirm that most of Twoset's reactions to the pieces match mine perfectly.
“We are sorry, pianists out there”
Ahhh, don’t sweat it, we can’t play wilde jagd either
edit: now that this comment’s number of likes has expanded to an unimaginable size, I’d like to bring some attention to Sigismond Thalberg’s transcription of Lacrimosa. It’s good. Go listen to it.
*Except SeeMusic Piano
Just use an extra finger or two!
Franz Liszt have mercy with us master Liszt pls
Those two level 5 pieces are also almost impossible on piano lol
Anonymous I’m learning the Rachmaninoff piece. Some parts are easier than they look and some are MUCH harder
7:34
*pause*
"guess who's Bach"
"Bach again"
"J.S.Bach"
"tell a friend"
OHHH!!!
That's why this piece is very familiar to my ear!
OHHH!!! #2
OHHH!!! #3
I’m so proud of myself, I recognised it. Probably first time for me... Twoset is good teachers.
Yeees, I think of that disstrack too
Pathetique Movement 2: *is marked Adagio cantible (meaning lyrically and somewhat slow)
Brett: *plays it Grave*
That Haydn Sonata XV1 sounded like is was written for violin duet.. Love it
3:14 as a pianist, i can't stop laughing at how slow brett played it. he played it largo
Lol, it wasn’t an easy piece but I’ve seen much harder which is why I was laughing my ass off when I saw the tempo was actually 152.
Azeara Azymoto same here LOL
Azeara Azymoto on violin tho
The same with the Arabesque...
Kayla I mean, it is in adagio
The crowd has spoken. We need a merch for non-musician fans. Something like: 'I'm not a musician, but I watch TwoSetViolin, so I know music."
Sign me in 🙋🏻♀️
Uncultured swine learning at TwoSet University here, I NEED this to happen !! 🙋🏼♀️
I'm asking myself how many of us non-musicians exists??? 🤔🤔😂😂😂
I'm a musician but I support this 1000%!!!
Or us non-classical musicians.
Did anybody else feel the need to listen to actual recordings of these pieces after this?
Yes mostly the 2nd movement of Sonata Pathetique :p
Of course!
Haydn Schertzo!
James Hayhoe Listen to Prelude in G Minor, this performance doesn’t do justice
Wilde Jagd just to see what it really sounds like
14:00 "Dude, that's to LOW for the Violin." VIOLA GANG TO THE RESCUE.

How about the voice
"Pianist plays too many notes"
*aggressively agreeable*
Every pianist laughed and died at level 5
yeah true! im the 100 like!! i feel piano!
I died at the first piece on level 4
Jascha Heifetz maestro, have you ever tried playing piano piece on violin?
„Pianist play too many notes“
Sooo.. any other organists here? :’D
ohhh I have always wanted to play the organ
Lmaooo

Brett and Eddy: *messed up* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
me: *RIP EARS*
Same hahahaha
Almost had a heart attack😅
As a pianist and violinist his really made me giggle. On occasions when I’ve been teaching the violin in a room with no piano to accompany I’ve often done this 😆
Also my piano teacher when at school advised me to take Grade 8 Musicianship. Very grateful throughout my career that I did. The skills I learnt stood me in good stead both at university ( several decades ago) and beyond.
“If u can sightread slowly, u can sightread quickly”
I wish i could
Can you guys rearrange Arabesque to a duet omg it should be a thing!!!
Right?
omg yes please im on my knees it would be beautiful on violin
yes pls!!
Hugh Jardon omg I didn’t know that!I did find out that there’s already a string quartet arr 😭😭😭thanks for your information 💕💕
@Hugh Jardon We know that. But we want to hear THEM play it. Sad that I need to explain that to you.
"Pianists, when you see a double stop, it's just so much harder on the violin."
me: bruh on my instrument it's not even possible
What instrument do you play?
Probably the claves
Thus you never have to play it
Thus it isnt difficult
*cries in winds*
the triangle?
I laughed so hard seeing them fail to sight read the Rach and the Liszt then realized I couldn’t play those pieces either...

The benefit pianists have of having one of the easier instruments to actually make a sound out of, is that you're expected to play pretty much the entire orchestral register for most pieces.
