“Is that meant to be Paganini? Sold his soul to the devil?” Correct 👍🏻 A little Paganini cameo. “I wonder if they actually play?” They do! They are excellent violinists- and funny , as well 💜
As a huge fan of Two Set Violin and of you this is a dream come true! The S is Shostakovich and yes The violinist is Paganini. Brett and Eddie are both very accomplished violinists and just finished a world tour. Their live shows are very funny and a classical music treat and their UA-cam channel is great.
"Do you think they actually play?" - who do you think played Paganini in the video? XD there's a massive list of references under the original video, there's about 25-30 of them
This is definitely the best reaction video I've seen, by far! It's nice to see someone reacting to this that obviously has quite a bit more knowledge about classical music and composers, especially another Aussie! I am a huge fan of TwoSet Violin, and to answer some of your questions, TwoSet Violin both play violin, so that's why the playing is accurate at the end of the video. The 'S' is Shostakovich, and the violinist is Paganini. As for the background music: 1:09 is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor 2:14 is Mozart's Symphony No. 40 3:03 is Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake 3:16 is Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 3:33 is Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 (DSCH motif) 4:20 is Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake 4:33 is Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 4:49 is Beethoven's Für Elise 5:12 is Paganini's Caprice No.5 and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 In regards to the references, we have a Bach pun "That's why y'all keep coming Bach to me" (2:12), "I'm a prodigy kid" (2:13) refers to the fact that Mozart was a prodigy, "Lick my Arsch" (2:17) is a reference to Mozart's piece 'Leck mich am Arsch', which translates to "Kiss my ar$e" or literally "Lick me in the ar$e", "And attend my greatest mass" (2:18, 2:28) refers to Mozart's 'Great Mass in C minor', "Let me blow my magic flute" (2:29) refers to 'The Magic Flute' opera, "When you play my Nachtmusik" (3:01) refers to Mozart's 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik', "Opera and ballet" (3:02) refers to the fact that Tchaikovsky wrote many opera and ballet pieces, "Gone is my Juliet" (3:10) refers to Tchaikovsky's 'Romeo and Juliet', "Duh duh duh dum" (3:16, 4:33) refers to 'Symphony no.5' by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky dancing with the Swan's (3:27) is a reference to Swan Lake (which is a ballet piece), Shostakovich being surrounded by microphones (3:28) is a reference to the fact that he was censored by the Stalin Government and was watched, Bach 'glowing' (3:29) is a reference to the fact that he was highly religious, and that is why he is praying, the headphones surrounding Beethoven (3:31) refer to the fact that he was losing his hearing, "Stop telling me what to say, what to write" (3:33) refers to the way that the government controlled his composing, "Sick of writing for the Stalin government while I…" (3:36) refers to the fact that he was writing his music for the Stalin government, "They're gonna take me in the middle of the night" (3:41) refers to the fact that Shostakovich was once declared the enemy of the people, "They're trying to censor me, take away my rights" (3:43) refers to the fact that many of his pieces were censored and limited his freedom of expression, "But against oppression, I shall fight" (3:45) refers to the fact that Shostakovich did not support the Stalin government, "Hear, my last premiere, full of despair" (3:46) refers to Tchaikovsky's last composition Symphony No. 6, 'Pathétique', which refers to the 'despair' part, "Classical, Romantic, got them both" (4:49) refers to the fact that Beethoven was both part of the Classical period, and also initiated the Romantic period, "Deaf to the hate" (5:00) refers to the fact the Beethoven was deaf, as do the next two lines, the devil horns that appear on Paganini's head (5:11) refer to the fact that Paganini was called the Devil's Violinist, because he supposedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his virtuosic talent. So yeah, sorry this was really long, thanks if you actually bothered to read it, and just to be clear, I probably have missed a few things.
For Bach, there is also the Art of Fugue, which is an unfinished book that Bach wrote, aside Bach being the master of the fugue; plus with "they call me the real OG", TwoSet makes a reference to the fact that he is considered by many as the greatest composer of all times.
I’m also going to add that they did the conductor’s movement for the time signature 4/4/common time. Edit: I feel like Mozart playing the other Paganini is a hint at him being with Paganini in the “Shut Down” video and “Sell Out,” or is it just me?
Bach, Beethovan, Tchaikovsky, Shoshtakovich, and Mozart! Plus a little of Paganini. I love this song. It would be funny if those composers woke up and saw this music video!
I know I'm replying months later, but I'm just now seeing this video. They recently hinted at dropping a full album by B2TSM! I am so excited. They said hopefully the end of this year, it'll be out.
@@Dazisinfograf I believe so! I think rn they are just rebranding, possibly to Twoset Academy. They've been promoting that for a couple of months, and the link is still on their UA-cam page and still active. Also, the day before they made their announcement, a woman posted pix of herself with Brett & Eddy, in Vienna, saying they had just finished up shooting a video...and in it, Eddy was dressed as Bach... so it's very possible it was a B2TSM music video. Additionally, they just signed on with a company in April or May (I forget the name of the company). Seems unlikely they would quit entirely just a few months after signing a contract with a company. So...I think there are still positive signs that we'll get more Twoset in the future. They both love classical music and love performing too much to just completely quit. Oh and they said in a recent interview, in September iirc, that they were working on stuff that was pushing them to do new and bigger things....so I think whatever they are working on, it's big and therefore we just have to be patient.

B - Bach

You should react to their other parody song - "Paganini - Sell Out".

Just a precision : they're not done with their world tour, there are more shows to come this year in Europe, Hong-Kong and maybe other places. 😊
