John Cage - 4’33’' Pd: to listen to John Cage just turn everything off, shut the doors, close your eyes and play death.
This is actually an awesome way to introduce people to new Classical pieces!! 😃 I would love if they could do this again, and add a list of the pieces in the video's description
i’m honestly impressed by the scenarios that people just think of when listening to pieces like imagine listening to the beginning of a piece and someone just goes: *“ah yes, sounds like stealing a baguette from france.”*
Like, the nation of France. All of France. The entire french population is chasing you for stealing *the* baguette of France. That's gotta be one baguette delicieuse
I love how these guys are better at guessing classical pieces from incredibly ambiguous comments on UA-cam than Brett is at guessing movie soundtracks when Eddy literally plays it for him
@@xandraxandra1437 To be fair, the lines are a bit blurry. The musicians who appear in their videos are usually friends Brett and/or Eddy know from uni or orchestra (Jordon, Alex, Hyung...). And whenever they hire people from outside this circle, they tend to befriend them (Sophie, Shaun, Editor-san...). So it's not surprising they refer to the members of their team as friends. Even though TwoSet is a firm, Brett and Eddy don't strike me as people who have a strict business boss/employee relationship with their team.
@@xandraxandra1437 Well, yeah, they employ quite a few people : their editors, the entire TwoSet Apparel team (designers, marketeers, etc...), someone who works as an "assistant" or something similar, and other people for whom I have no idea what the job title is... 😄 If I'm not mistaken, TwoSet is registered as a society with 10+ employees. But it doesn't prevent all of them to be friends.
To be honest, the answer that magically fits most if not all of these comments is: *Brett's Lofi* "Genius is not the answer to all questions It's the question to all answers" I feel like this is the best description of Brett's Lofi lol
I have played 1812 with howitzers more than once. They are loud, but not so near the band that it's bad. Sitting in front of the trumpets is actually worse.
12:21 Bro definitely PRANKED all that complains from the neighbor Neighbors complains “stop being quiet!” Silence could possibly make you tear up 😢 Lol 😂
11:00 - I remember reading that they actually did this once in the Circle (Shakespeare's theater). Not for the 1812 overture, it was a performance of a play about King Henry VIII. Part of the thatching caught fire and it burnt down.
you don't need to be paralyzed to be in a wheelchair, some people just can't stay on their feet for too long because of pain caused by some chronic illnesses for example
If I understood well from their mental health video, Eddy was in a wheelchair for a while because of some sort of pain in his limbs, so I'm pretty sure most of us here know that.
that story is from Eddy’s own experience, and as another commenter said, the full story of Eddy using the wheelchair can be found in their mental health video
Howitzer is a type of large cannon. The word howitzer is originaly from the Czech "houfnice", which was an anti-infantry cannon used by Hussites during the early 15th century.
looked up john cage 4’33 and got a wonderful surprise, Twoset did a video way back covering it, but it’s basically just Brett and Eddy being their usual goofy selves, trying to hold back their giggles for over four minutes 😂 and also got the added bonus of a wholesome video of their cover of BTS’s mic drop. Eddy’s clean dance moves 💯 with Brett’s vacant and soulless stare into the camera and the editing to make it look just like the music video omg this video has matured to perfection, what a blast of nostalgia 👌 thanks youtube for recommending this masterpiece 😂🤣🤣 please do a new update for the cover version, but with Brett’s lo-fi would be Amazing!!!
@@mandch5990 Not equal, but greatly benefits. Being able to instantly replicate a pitch is a perfect pitch skill. Plus both of them are musicians so i mean like singing in tune is rudimentary
@@Killerbee4712 yeah but it's also simple muscle and memory work if you know stuff very well...I'm a singer and have nowhere near perfect pitch. Stuff I know well and/or have sung plenty I usually start in the right key....
Oh dear, I have never even once felt that The Ride of the Valkyries is chaotic. It is just magnificent and full of energy! Wagner is really adept at creating these kinds of atmosphere.
New video idea. How about "If two composers lived together? " or "If composers were roommates". Like two different genres or timelines. I want to see Tchaikovsky and Sibelius in same household. Also Mozart and Chopin or Chopin and Liszt. Like Chopin is the introverted roommate while Liszt or Mozart are extroverted roommate
You don't know how much you've helped people finding the music they've heard of a thousand times but never know the name. Thank you, TwoSet, thank you.
It’s actually quite cool that Brett sang the pieces in the right pitch all the time! (Sometimes he got hela from Eddy but still very manh times he got it right)
I think I remember one video with Eddy saying to Brett that he has an (undeveloped) perfect pitch as well. If you ask him to sing an a, no problem. Also singing a piece he knows well in the right pitch, no problem. This is the case for many musicians, even if they can't do it 100% like Eddy.
It is probably more pitch memory than perfect pitch. If I hear something enough times, and try to sing it at some random time later, it will likely be at the same pitch I have learned from listening, but I have no idea what the note names are.

The Tchaikovsky Overture 1812 was played by a local orchestra once in front of a cathedral. They used a real cannon and said cathedral bells, it was truly epic. The concert was a homage for the 200 years anniversary of our country independence (Paraguay), back in 2011.
Allegedly, Ravel said this of his "Bolero" piece: "17 minutes of orchestration without any music". I disagree, slightly. It's 17 minutes of GENIUS orchestration around a very simple but beautiful motif.
Personally, I’d have to agree with his assessment, especially in light of his other music! Bolero just doesn’t hold up in comparison to Rapsodie Espagnole, La Valse, or Ma Mère l’Oye-let alone Daphnis et Chloé. Bolero demonstrates masterful orchestration, but it’s not nearly as musical as his other work, I think. :)
@@cobrasys You are very welcome! I’d also have to add in Pavane pour une infante défunte, because until I accidentally discovered the orchestral version one day, I thought of Ravel solely as the Bolero Man
@@andrewfortmusic Well, let me counter with a recommendation of my own, then (you probably already know it, but what the hell): Tzigane. It's a great violin piece.
10:19 Yes, it has two names, one is "Dance of the Knights" and the other is "Montagues and Capulets" I don't know why it's been changed to Dance of the Knights though
Two things: Dance of the Knights is also called Montagues and Capulets. That's what you're probably thinking of. The Hollywood Bowl plays 1812 with US Navy Ships doing the cannons in the harbor. I've been told it's quite impressive. Of course, since they also coordinate fireworks to the entire thing you have to have something even bigger for the cannons at that point.
yeah I was confused too, I was like "gotta be Prokofiev's Montagues and Capulets", played his R&J in orchestra years ago and it was fantastic. Didn't know it had a different name.

The Wagner and fire association comes from the film Apocalypse Now where napalm was dropped over the jungles of Vietnam with Wagner blaring on the soundtrack.
10:53 A little too close to home, actually happened, kind of. Every walpurgisnight a lot of people gather to celebrate at the castle in my home town. It's great and there's always a choir performing. One year howevery, they thought it'd be a good idea to fire a canon for celebratory purposes. A piece of wood flew off it and hit a man in the audience. They never fired canons on Walpurgisnight again. (The man survived btw, but he did need medical attention.)
Agree on "Winter" and an anxiety effect, a head-banger, but not a very cheerful one.. Actually think the "Four Seasons" and most of Vivaldi is not so very 'happy' at all as several people have said to me. He does sound sincere, when I listen to him, which is for some reason quite rarely.. Shostakovich and Prokofiev is oftentimes just calming and sometimes like "yeeah bring it on, rock'n'rooll". I did grow up on some really messed-up Soviet cartoons.. Cool art on the t-shirts, nice TwosetApparel as usual 💙
“A piece that’s supposedly calming and for studying, but really just surfaces your deepest fears.”

Apparently the original sheet music for the 1812 Overture said “move cows off stage” and I’m not sure how to process this information
Well it's bells..
For those who like to take note to listen to the music they mentioned:
Boccherini- Minuet.
Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries
Ravel- Bolero Liszt- La Campanella
Offenbach - Can Can
Stravinsky- The rite of Spring
Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King
Mozart- Queen of the night
Vivaldi- Spring
Beethoven- Fur Elise
Rossini - William Tell overture
Bach - Toccata and fugue in D minor
Prokofiev- Dance of the knights
Tchaikovsky- Overture 1812.
John Cage - 4’33’'

Brett's Lofi is the legit anxiety theme song. You can't tell me otherwise.
Just wait until you play The Witness, and you'll understand why In the Hall of the Mountain King is so anxiety inducing.
I had never seen that video, so after reading this comment, I had to go look it up. I was laughing SO HARD watching that LoFi video. :D

All kidding aside, John Cage's "String Quartet in Four Parts" is a really gorgeous piece. If you can hear it live, do so. It's ethereal.
almost as good as his 4’33”

True since the 'Can Can' is just the dance and the piece is called 'Infernal Gallop' if you want to be technical.

Thank you for all the creative and frequent content! Also looking forward to your tour!
This is legit such a good idea
ok i dare saying this is one of your best and more interesting videos. do more of these plsss
8:44 knew it when the word friendzone popped up.
The merch looks so good!
10:53 A little too close to home, actually happened, kind of. Every walpurgisnight a lot of people gather to celebrate at the castle in my home town. It's great and there's always a choir performing. One year howevery, they thought it'd be a good idea to fire a canon for celebratory purposes. A piece of wood flew off it and hit a man in the audience. They never fired canons on Walpurgisnight again.
(The man survived btw, but he did need medical attention.)
New merch looking 🔥🔥🔥
9:50 thank God the comment didn't say "John Williams wanted this song". It could have been any piece in the repertoire.
I think I’ve never seen anything cuter than Brett reading “tininini ninininini”
i think as a non musical person i’ve evolved from little einsteins to two set violin oh what a life i’ve lived
watching you guys while I bake some delicious cookies!!!!
"Anxiety as a soundtrack...."
"Brett's lofi"
lmao 😂
This was really fun, make it a series please!
This might be my favorite TwoSet video of all time. I hope they play this game again some time.
Editor-san's got jokes playing Entry of the Gladiators instead of 4'33"
Agree on "Winter" and an anxiety effect, a head-banger, but not a very cheerful one..
Actually think the "Four Seasons" and most of Vivaldi is not so very 'happy' at all as several people have said to me. He does sound sincere, when I listen to him, which is for some reason quite rarely..
Shostakovich and Prokofiev is oftentimes just calming and sometimes like "yeeah bring it on, rock'n'rooll". I did grow up on some really messed-up Soviet cartoons..
Cool art on the t-shirts, nice TwosetApparel as usual 💙
