Twoset flexing hard to remind us they have serious skills. I like it.

I literally was gonna ask when can we hear Twoset play seriously again yesterday and BOOM here we go!! As amazing as always!! Practice motivation 400% recharged!!

Couldn't stop smiling when they each played their "own" cadenzas--and now Mendelssohn added to the list! So awesome.

I like how Level 1 is already moderately difficult. Makes you realize how far up the ladder of skill and talent goes.

Eddy's intense playing with the occasional soulful look directed "at us," or a sigh. Brett's passionate playing sometimes with a small jump of intensity, but he only has eyes for his violin. Both so captivating.

Hearing Brett play the Mendelssohn cadenza… SO EXCITED FOR MENDELSSOHN 4 MIL!! :D

Timestamps : 0:00 Level 1 : Wieniawski Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor 0:31 Level 2 : Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor (improv. by Ferdinand David) 1:28 Level 3 : Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor (improv. by Joseph Joachim) 2:18 Level 4 : Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major (arr. by Fritz Kriesler) 3:02 Level 5 : Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major (arr. by Joseph Joachim) 5:01 Level 6 : Brahms Violin Concerto in D major (arr. by Joseph Joachim) 5:40 Level 7 : Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major (arr. by Eugène Ysaÿe) 8:24 Level 8 : Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor 10:01 Level 9 : Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor (arr. by David Oistrakh) 11:22 Level 10 : Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major (arr. by Émile Sauret) Note : 'arr.' means that the cadenza was arranged by the aforementioned famous violinist for performance. 'improv.' means that the cadenza was written by the composer, however it was improvised and modified by the violinist.

Eddy said in an old video that he tried playing the cadenza from Shostakovich's first violin concerto once but couldn't because it's insanely difficult. Happy to see he managed playing it now!

I wonder if Twoset gets discouraged sometimes, seeing that violin playing videos (the levels of / evolution of series) tend to get less views, despite the hard work put into practicing these excerpts. If so, I hope they know that there are many of us out here who love, appreciate and look forward to such videos! It's always great to see them in their element with no-nonsense violin playing! Plus, as a non-musician, these videos help expand my exposure to more classical music. Keep going :)

Explenation: In music, a cadenza (from Italian: cadenza [kaˈdɛntsa], meaning cadence; plural, cadenze [kaˈdɛntse]) is, generically, an improvised or written-out ornamental passage played or sung by a soloist or soloists, usually in a "free" rhythmic style, and often allowing virtuosic display. During this time the accompaniment will rest, or sustain a note or chord. Thus an improvised cadenza is indicated in written notation by a fermata in all parts. A cadenza will usually occur over the final or penultimate note in a piece, the lead-in (German: Eingang)[6] or over the final or penultimate note in an important subsection of a piece. It can also be found before a final coda or ritornello.[3]

Love so much that Brett plays the pieces who require the “power”

Brett’s Tchaikovsky on the new violin sounds incredible, wow

11:52 that kind of pain that only violinists can understand. We feel you Brett, we have all been there

Me: I’m going to sound as good as Twoset one day! Also me: Doesn’t practice

Finally an ear blessing video after all the tracks that Brett made on GarageBand 👀

So happy to hear Eddy play the Shostakovich Violin Concerto cadenza. It's literally my favorite violin concerto right now.

Thank you twoset for giving us quality content, and also all the research, practicing and editing (yes we all know that editor san did an amazing job) adding the sheet music on the screen...

Holy moly, you must have practised so much for this episode! It turned out amazing. You could double or triple your video output per practice hour with a few commentary episodes about why you ranked the cadenzas like this. What makes each one difficult technically, but also musically? And of course: what are your favorite recordings of each cadenza?

As much as I enjoy their funny videos, Twoset playing seriously never fails to amaze me 🤯👏👏👏 Watching Brett and Eddy respectively perform Tchaik and Sibelius again was also so, so nice 🥰🥰 Can't wait for the virtual concert, guys! 👋

5:41 8:28 🥰 fondly remembering their 2M Tchaik and 3M Sibelius. Still my favorite videos of theirs which I still rewatch up to now ❤❤❤

Brett’s tchai cadenza has improved since 2mil 🥺 and Eddy’s sibelius cadenza brought me to tears again 😭 I can’t wait to hear them play at the virtual tour in a couple of weeks time

Brett's rendition of Tchaikovsky's Concerto was PLATINUM LEVEL

I always love them flexing their lingling prowess on us Me: THAT WAS LEVEL 1? Love you guys

They should do a guess who’s playing game where they both record a bunch of the same pieces and then listen back to them without knowing who’s playing and see if they can get it right! I’d be cool to see their different styles and phrasings of the same piece

I think why Brett played the Tchaikovsky cadenza for so long is mostly to compensate for the 2 mil 😂 even though the 2 mil wasn’t bad at all, you can tell he has improved a lot 😊

Brett absolutely nailed the Tchaikovsky. And props for him attempting the Sauret. I've played some of these candenzas before throughout my 10 years of playing, but I've never been able to play them quite as powerful and clean as they can. This video was a delight to watch!

This is why I follow Twoset. They aren't just mucking about with memes and reaction videos. Brilliant video.

Coming back to this after watching the 4mil performance really helps you appreciate the work Brett put into the Mendy

You know you're a violin teacher if...there are few things on this Earth more beautiful than Eddy's right wrist.

I would like to see a video someday where each of you go through your comparative strengths (and weaknesses), so who’s better at what - techniques, sight reading, improvising, etc.

Brett nailed the Tchaikovsky, that’s my personal favorite and wow job well done. Great work throughout - all of those sound pretty dang high level to me!

can we just talk about how incredible that tchaikovsky piece was like omg

Who else wanted Brett to just keep playing the Tchaikovsky? Gonna rewatch their livestream after finals.

This was amazing! Twelve minutes of pure cadenza, it's like a meal of all desserts. You nailed the high notes and harmonics. Thanks!

They sound more polished now. I'm happy for them that their practice paid off. 🙂

와 딱 어제 투셋이 바이올린 켜는 영상 많이 찍어줬으면 좋겠다고 생각했는데 이렇게 올려주다니 ㅠㅠ 너무 행복하다… 바이올린 켜는 투셋 너무 좋다… 🥰🥰

Such beautiful concerto pieces been played. I couldn't even wait for christmas.

I live for twosets serious playing

Twoset Flex is back! Them showing off their skills is just the highlight of the day!

i love you both u both encouraged me to resume playing as i previously lost interest with the instrument

Commenting to boost this video because skill and dedication like that deserves ALL the views dammit! Seriously you guys we can *feel* the hours grinded into this short 12min video... Definitely practising what they preach! I wonder how much time Twoset can dedicate to practice actually with their insane video upload schedule, trying to do both at highest level is literally having two 40+hrs/week jobs, must be difficult to balance the two🤔

Brett has the most beautiful tone. I could listen to him play all day. 🙂👍🏻

I really like this type of content.. hope that they can upload the recording of their serious playing of some short pieces in a hall setting... because after watching their virtual tour I realize that holly molly their violins sound sooooo good in the hall..

I play the guitar, but hadn’t practiced much. After watching twosetviolin, the Ling Ling 40 hours inspired me to really practice. The hardest thing I could play 5 years ago has now become my warming up piece. Thank you twosetviolin!

Dear Brett and Eddy, I love when you play the violin as if it's the only thing you have in this world. Thank you for sharing to us what you have. You are inspiring a lot of people, not only musicians and artists, to strive more and achieve what they want with deep sincerity. Looking forward for more beautiful music played by our most favorite violin duo. Keep it up, we're so proud of you 😊

brett playing tchaikovsky cadenza was amazing, im crying

10 days later, we’ve heard Eddy do astounding, moving performances of the Shostakovich cadenza in the Virtual World Tours… I’m still in awe.

Only the 1st level and I already hear and feel the difficulty level of the cadenzas are way higher than normal violin playing. The amount of practices you guys have to put into to make this video possible and sound so clean. Thank you so much! As another comment already said it, I wishes video like this receive more attention and views from the audiences, but I hope you guys won't stop the series of serious playing because of low numbers, please don't pay attention to them, your serious playing is what makes the core 'uniqueness' of your channel, and many of us love it. I understand it is so hard to pull off because the amount of practice to produce one since you guys are professional musician with integrity so all I can say, good job and thank you, so much, again. Looking forward to more video from you guys no matter which type!

I'm just amazed that they recorded all 10 cadenzas on the same day😲 big, big applaus👏👏👏💐🎻

These are the kinds of videos that inspire me to practice.

You two have made me pick up my violin again - after 28 years.

Damn. Eddy really nailed the emotional intensity of the Shostakovich cadenza. I love that section of the piece and I love hearing how different people 'feel' their way through it. Awesome.

Oh, my God, I love Brett's Mendelssohn and Brüch. I'm soooooooo happy cause I love these pieces so much!

COME ON Tchaikovsky Concerto Cadenza!!!!! Werk that virtu - osity . Man that was soooo good. I really wanted an orchestra to follow that cadenza. well played.

This video is a friendly reminder that TwoSet are A M A Z I N G violinists!!

Breathtaking. My jaw dropped so many times 😲🤩😍 Edit: Love the blooper, very relatable 😂😂

Absolutely stunning violin playing, well done Eddie and Brett! 😱🙌🏼🎻🎶

Alternative title: TwoSet's Quarantine Achievement Presentation

I now want a full good audio quality version of Brett’s Tchaikovsky….cry

so you’re telling me im listening to brett’s Crisp af tchaikovsky cadenza on his new violin FOR FREE wow

Brett nailed the Tchaikovsky cadenza.

okay, all jokes aside... They are incredible violinists!!!

I love that Brett didn't give up and gave a shot to the sauret cadenza. Pretty sure he could have done it better but doesn't care to break his fingers over that painful (and overall horrendous) cadensa

As someone who is not a musician, seeing the music makes me appreciate it soooo much more! 😮

it started off REAL strong i was like... what is level 10 gonna be like????? and you guys nailed it...

i kinda wanna hear brett play the whole of Bruch's violin concerto now

I never knew i was into classical music until i found you.

wow! coming back to twoset for the first time in a while and they have definitely improved their playing by quite a bit. they were always extremely good, but this is next level. majorly impressive. fantastic performances

This video has me so excited for Brett's Mendelssohn, but also, I will *never* get enough of Brett playing Tchaikovsky. Literally. Brett could play Tchaikovsky for 40 hours straight and I would be like "please, more of Brett's Tchaikovsky"

I'm not a musician, so I can't really tell, but for me even level 1 and 2 already look extremely difficult, I have so much respect!

Is there anything more incredible when Brett and Eddy show their true talent? This vid is awe-inspiring. Well done you two :-) This has got to be on the top of my very favorite list. So looking forward to December 28!

To those who commented previously that they "forgot TwoSet played violin," I point at this and laugh in those posters' faces (kidding!) In all seriousness, I realize that they probably meant it humorously in that Brett and Eddy's personalities are just so entertaining that the focus is drawn to that, but Brett and Eddy's skills are no joke(lol)! Still remember those days back in 2018 when I first discovered you guys. The both of you are an inspiration to all of us, and you've inspired me to pick back up the instrument I haven't touched since high school. Now, I will go put in my 40 hours. Hope everyone watching this ( + Brett & Eddy) is safe and healthy!

Yet again I’m introduced to a new piece of Music by Twoset Violin- I’d never heard the Shostakovich before this. Thanks!

I must still be on Opera Singer Brain, because I looked at the sheet music for the first cadenza and went, "How is this level one, that would be SO hard to sing" before remembering that I am watching. A violin channel. And that these cadenzas are for. Physical instruments. Lmao.

I really enjoy Brett's playing.

Lingling would be impressed. he tought you well.

I got a 10/10 on my violin class, I'm celebrating while watching this.

You guys have some SERIOUS talent!!! You’re both so good! Love ya! ❤️

Brett wins all the cadenzas. Exquisite.

I find it interesting how Eddy would often linger on the last note of each phrase, for the musical expression, but there's probably a mental factor as well, seeing as he lingered less when he's playing Sibelius.

I LOVE WATCHING PROFESSIONALS AT WORK!!!

Goosebumps ! Amazing! Shostakovitch was just heartbreaking!

Outstanding work in this video! I really enjoy when Twoset showcase the repertoire and ability of the violin.

That blooper at the end is such a big mood

Damn you 2 sound fantastic! About the most purely legit I've heard you. Awesome sound and very musical.

Thank you guys for simultaneously entertaining and educating. Love you guys!

Eddy knows we are looking back at him when he plays the Sibelius cadenza

I want to be a violinist because of twoset, but I'm also scared to not be able to play those hard pieces in the future... I guess I really have to practice 40 hrs a day

Brett’s Tchaikovsky still blows my mind 🤯👏🔥

So beautiful the Cadenza of Tchaikovsky Concerto omg.... I was so focused on you ❤️❤️✨

I’m learning the Mendelssohn too, and that last clip sums up all of my frustrations as well lol

I gave this video A*4!! "As Amazing As Always"!!

I like when Cadenzas tell a story and are not just "look what I can do lol" I know that's the whole point but I like how Shostakovich's Cadenza is something I would actually like listening to on its own because of how good it is.

Beautiful. So beautiful. Everything sounds so heavenly. I'm in love again with Brett's Tchaikovsky and Eddy's Sibelius. By the way, I'm sure that Eddy is secretly a pro dancer! 🤣 Even his hair dances when he plays. Epic! And .....both of them really have beautiful hands and fingers

The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto was the first major piece of classical violin I had ever heard. It's what made we want to start playing! (Started late, as a freshman in high school). I've listened to that piece so many times, I get transported and absorbed *immediately*, with just the first 4 notes :) Also, it's cadenza rocks out, haha!

these are always my favorite videos, i watch them over and over! i do so hope they never stop making these 🙏🏼

Awe, this made my day!! You guys's playing is so beautiful, even with cadenzas as difficult as these. Thanks so much for playing this! (Also Brett at the end made me laugh 😂😂)
