Claire is my daughter. She is so excited to be part of this. She practices for hours and hours every single day. Thank you for including her and for reacting so positively to her performance. She says this is the best day of her life!

TwoSet: “If you want to be like us, you need to practice 40 hours a day!” Fans: *challenge accepted*

As an Asian, Eddy’s “she’s Asian you can’t tell! She could be 16 or 36 “ is so relatable!🤣 Ppl other than Asian can never guess my age correctly lol Edit : ohhh I forgot it’s Brett’s Birthday! Happy Birthday from Taiwan🎉 You guys are just as talented as these people!

Thanks for viewing my video guys!!! (Btw I’m 20, not 17 but the young age makes me look more like a prodigy :)

"You have to practice. There are no shortcuts in life." Wise words indeed.

Fun fact: in German we have a term for violists who never played the violin before and started on the viola immediately. We call them "Edelbratscher" ("noble violists"). They are known to be preferred when it comes to getting contracts for world-class orchestras, so the assumption that violists who played the violin before are better in any way is less than true, even if intended as just a joke.

Hey Brett and Eddy,I’m the ocarina player at 10:23 and thank you for reviewing my playing, so thrilled to see this reaction video! I have learnt many instruments growing up（like piano, ocarina etc.), but due to the pressure from the school work, I hadn’t practiced them for the past few years. Now I’m in uni, after so many years, I finally have time and it is you guys who gave my the motivation and the courage pick them up, most importantly, you made me really started to enjoy classic music which used to be inscrutable and dull to me as a kid.❤ And BYW, it is true that until today ,I still get recognized as a high student very often although I’m already a uni student, I know my appearance makes me look like a underage.😂

What a joy! Thanks for playing my video, guys!! It is at 4:15 I gotta tell you, I admire you both, a lot! I'm a big fan. And also... begun playing violin a few months ago, but I can't share any of that, lol! 😂 Big hugs!! Thanks again.

hi brett and eddy!!! i attended my first ever classical music concert today (bruch vc and mahler 5 with chloe chua and sso!!) and i'd just like to thank you guys for inciting my love for classical music!

That violinist/violinist couple had a beautiful sound chemistry! Very smooth and really delicate.

Have to say, you created this community, so what did you expect? People love a good challenge, and a good prank. Thank you for connecting us. It is the most talented community out there, from all over the world.

I love how this turned from a fun game to an existential crisis

I wish I could have sent in a video of myself from 1976 ( family did not have money for video camera) when I was 14. I composed a piece for piano and submitted the written composition along with a cassette tape of myself playing the piece for a piano composition contest. I received first place prize and two judges likened my style to Rachmaninoff. Very difficult solo piano piece. This was after playing piano for only 6 months. I recently retired as a director of a school of music and a teacher of classical piano for over 40 years.

If you can destroy your self-esteem slowly, you can destroy your self-esteem quickly. Also, Happy Birthday, Brett!

The lady with 28 days. I’m in an adult violin student group. Adults tend to learn faster then children, but we also plateau faster being self taught so it benefits us to find a teacher to help keep progressing. 😊

Thanks for viewing my video! I was the flute player. You guys gave me a real confidence boost 😉 And happy birthday Brett🎉

Man double bass sounds so hauntingly beautiful and this guy nailed it with that piece. I would listen to that on repeat.

5:37 her casually rickrolling everyone

6:35 Brett's hand 'playing' the piano with the correct rhythm is oddly satisfying to watch

Finally an "ordinary" TwoSet video again! Much as I enjoyed the great performances lately, for me, these kind of videos are the heart of TwoSet Violin!

Officially March 3rd in this side of the world. Happy birthday, Brett 🧋🥳 May lingling bless you 🎻✨

Thanks for putting me in the video!!! 11:18

Speaking as a guitarist of a handful of years, just cuz there's frets does not make it easy lol. Sweep picking that clean and clear is NOT easy! That was exceptional playing there.

YOOO SECOND IT FEELS ILLEGAL TO BE THIS EARLY That thumbnail is , SaCrALiJiOs1👏🏼✨

Yay! Fooled ya! I am at 2 months now with the violin and am keeping um with practicing every single day so far. Also, I’ve played the piano for 20 years and been singing opera for 14, so I’m not a noob to music, just to the violin.

Happy Birthday Brett! Congrats on 4 mil! Absolutely loved the TwoSet vs Davie event! Also for Brett: Nyappy Birthday 🥰🥰❤

The guitar player's hair is a dead giveaway - long hair shredder has to be some someone who came of age circa 1988-1992

6:22 Geniuses are born, not created

Not related but must say, as someone who isn't an English native speaker, australian accent is very hard to understand, but I'm so addicted to these two that I've reached a point I don't need subtitles anymore. Conclusion: other than pushing me to practice music you guys by accident improved my listening skills, thank you 🤣

Happy Birthday Brett! Missed these type of fun content with music and I'm glad to see you guys reminding us to practice. I stopped playing for 10 years but watching you guys and the community makes me pick piano up again. Now I practice everyday and is improving bit by bit. So yes, for all of you who want to play an instrument it never too late to start and thank you Brett and Eddy for remind me of my love for playing an instrument again. Happy day and much health to twoset and twosetters :3

🎉Happy birthday Brett🎉🎂Hope you enjoyed😊 Thank you guys for making me practice 🎻😊

Because of you guys, i started to play my violin again. I have learned it with 5 and i played it for 15 years. I was about 20 years old, when i stopped to play. I studied Informatics, and became a doctor. For about 2 years i started again. I didn't play for 30! years. Now i am 52 and for one year i started again. I love it so much and i hope there comes the time, where i am so good on the violin, as i was wirh 20. Thank you guys!

hey guys im alyssa the singer at 4:58 the piece is widmung by schumann and i was eleven when this was recorded :)) thanks for including my video !!

I’m not a musician but I love listening to classical music. Because of this channel, I want to try learning classical instruments so I can relate to them , and also to play my favorite baroque pieces hehe🥹. Btw, fell in love with this duo on 2018 ❤

Again, my submission is not selected, but just looking at all the LingLing's they've selected, I'm kinda glad that they didn't pick mine😂 But it's all good, I'm only two years into violin because of Twoset, I still sound bad, but I practiced a lot and I enjoyed the process, that's all what I need!! And I gotta say, I miss videos like this from you guys so much!! 😭😭😭 I look forward to your world tour but I also hope you guys can continue to make new videos... sorry I'm being greedy here. Take care!! Also have a splendid birthday, Brett!! Looking forward to the miracles that only 31-year-old Brett can create!!

Just wanted to say that TwoSet motivated me to pick up the piano as my first instrument. I'm 32 have and been practicing almost every day for about 2.5 years total now and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Always makes my days better. You guys are my inspiration for writing music, as well as practicing everyday

They always were saying the violists started on violin, but never considered other musicians (such as the flautist or ocarina player) may have started on something else as well.

A little poem for the Birthday Maid: Dear Brett What an eventful year it has been You and Eddy, Twoset for the win! You've transformed into Maid Brett for (Eddy's) all our joy To witness you dance, oh boy, oh boy And early summer came You guys brought a project to fame Beautiful pieces: prelude, scherzo, adagio, rhapsody All wrapped up in a beautiful, stunning movie You made us dream of distant lands and broad hallways You brought us back to ourselves in the end, like always Then the debut of B2TSM How much more epic can it get, oh man! But this was not all you had in stock I have to admit it was quite a shock When you took on Blackpink As Paganini himself, and got all the hate from their Blinks Sell out rocked so hard It for sure broke my spotify chart! But the most wonderful, epic event Was simply Ling Ling and God sent Of course through your hard work, all the practice and dedication too Let us witness you guys playing Mendy, Bach and Pag with the SSO Not only that, you did it on TWO Strads! That just proves how much the world loves you, lads It remains till this day the most beautiful recording in my opinion So much passion, softness, fire and emotion After new year a new project One in order to protect Violin-chan from the bass gang It all went down with a huge bang The Twoset vs Davie504 concert Nothing like this has ever been done, correct? All in all, an epic year once again And I'm sure you guys will gain Even more followers, do more epic projects, meet more people, dream even bigger And we'll support you all the way, while you do everything with vigour Please though, take good care of yourselves Look after you, take breaks and sleep enough, for your healths And for now all is left to say Is, happy Birthday!!!

Just bought my first violin 3 weeks ago, and man, the skill floor is really high! But the instrument itself is just so wonderful. Thank you for inspiring me to practice every day! Now, GO PRACTICE!

YAY! I'm so happy to see the ocarina made it on here!!! Really beautiful Chao!

Seeing Eddy not that competitive to win this guess game with Brett for once and got emosional damage instead (from you all Ling Ling out there) is kind of refreshing. ☺️☺️☺️ PS: Happy 31st Birthday, Brett! 😘🎉 PSS: Idea for the next content: Since your lighting start to acting up, you should read horror stories related to classical music and freak yourselves out 🤭😏

I love how they both started playing an invisible violin at 9:12 😂 Also, with the flutist at 9:45, I was closer than either of them (I guessed two years) but WHAT THE HECK. SEVEN MONTHS. Congratulations, Sander, you have been putting in a LOT of work and it shows!!!

You know it’s gonna be a good day when TwoSet posts a video. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!!! I hope you’re proud of how far you’ve come and what an inspiration you and Eddy have been to aspiring musicians like me!

5:53 what is the meaning of life 😂🤣

I like how Brett just immediately changes his decision after Eddy says his answer 😆🤣😂

I've missed this kind of content, so happy it's back!

Others: "I learn it in 2 years or 3 years." Ling Ling: "Hold my 40 hours per day."

6:33 Eddy just sitting there still frozen, is CRACKING me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi twoset! Met some people you went to uni with yesterday at a family wedding. They were playing in a quartet. They told me that you were like the kids at the back of the section that always kind of messed around playing concertos while everyone was thinking “SHUT UP!” Lol. The guy I talked to was Dan, btw

I can relate so much to Brett's enthusiasm all these classical pieces that he starts singing and dancing, I love it.

The most impressive one taking the years played to account is the double bassist. Almost unreal. The violinist playing for 28 days doesn't seem unreal. I started with the guitar, then picked up the cello. In 28 days, I'd say I played similarly to her. She must've had some musical background.

Happy Birthday Brett!! May all your wishes come true, and may LingLing bless you! 😁🎉 🍰

10:07 As a flautist, I took this very personally.

8:10 OMG MY FAVORITE PIECEEEE

Eddy at 11:58 I’m just like, but you do have Ling Ling power. Your Perfect Pitch!!!

Happy Birthday, Bret! Without TwoSet I probably would have never found my way onto the musical side of youtube and without that, I would never have picked up the guitar. I have so much respect for you and Eddie. Have a great Birthday you deserve it.

I love how when people are better then them instead of nit-picking they encourage and lift them up more.

Even as a non-musician, Eddy's constant bashing of violist talent is tiring. Very tiring.

You two must have worked really hard recently :> Btw happy birthday Brett ✨✨✨

Regarding Kira: adults can get pretty far on string instruments in relatively short amounts of time. It helps being more in tune with your body and more receptive to learning than kids are. Half the process of teaching kids is preventing them from breaking the instrument lol. And the other half is getting them to pay attention.

This video calmed my doubts. I started learning to play the violin in November and I felt stuck recently. I don't really have comparison to others and to know a little how people sound after many years of practice was good to relax me a bit. On to practice!

Widmung is one of my favorite pieces! Well done, Alyssa!! And everyone!

I really love how these guys are insanely talented and appreciate talent on ANY instrument. The guitar guess was hilarious. As a 10 year guitarist, itd take me atleast 10 more years to hit those sweep runs as smoothly as he did.

Me being a viola feeling slightly offended

proving two set wrong today: i’ve been playing the viola for years, first chair, and i never started with the violin and yet, i’ve complimented to be the best in my orchestra :)

Not all violists start at violin. My friend started playing viola.

Well, to be fair, I've been singing my whole life, am intermediate at guitar, and have watched at least half of all Twoset videos. It makes sense that people, with comparable experience, could learn quicker than a 6 year old, even if they are a 6 year old Brett or Eddy 😘

I already love the idea of the video. Im so glad you still are making original ideas for your ideas. Thank you so much

Best wishes for your birthday Brett!!

This was hysterical. The amount of existential angst they felt toward the end was AWESOME!

In my experience, all adult violin students progress to a solid beginner level very very quickly. After that, the progress slows down to a more normal rate.

2:30 Man used to play cello but still did that "learning cello" vid with Eddy?? Dang.

6:49 I knew it when the second note came in, so it's absolutely hilarious to see Brett and Eddy finally realize what happened lmao

They made a serious mistake when judging the organist, we don't have dynamic control from the keyboard. The keyboard is literally a switchboard, the note is either on or off. There is no dynamic sensitivity in the keys & pedals. Dynamic changes are controlled via swellboxes, and the registration of the instrument. (Organ performance student here)

We need a part 2 of this, I love this type of video so much 🤩 Also: Happy birthday, Brett! May Ling Ling be with you!

Happy birthday Brett! I’m the violist from passacaglia, as well as the violist you gave the violin to in December. Thank you for viewing our video🥰

I missed you guys so much. Also happy birthday brett

"You're only good at the viola because you play violin" sounds a bit insulting, no?

Thank you sander representing the flute community! 10:14

The way you guys treat viola players is just…. Edit :no hate tho! I’m subbed!

The bass one was accurate because in the orchestra basses are the first ones to learn the shifting so five years makes sense, and the vibration thing really a beginner can just pick up.

4:59 The singing girl is so cute!

6:13 the way brett's jaw just dropped we also just got rickrolled...

happy birthday brett!!! welcome back😊 we missed you!

I love this video idea so much! I love the vulnerability you guys have and the humility- you’re my favorite KZfaqrs (and I know the favorite of many others!!) Keep it up ❤

No matter how many years I watch you guys, the random screaming in the intro persists 😂 you guys are awesome

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!!!!!

I love the clock behind them never moved its hands, so that we don't know how much time they took in making this video

So glad to have you back! I had really missed this slice of happy KZfaq

I think you guys have many fans from Italy and I'm one of this. Mamma mia . vi adoro! . Trentatre trentini entrarono a Trento tutti e trentatre trotterellando.😂😂

i’m glad you guys have been uploading again!! you both motivate me to practice 40 hours a day, i hope you two are doing well :D thank you for always being yourselves

Happy birthday Brett!!! 🥳🥳 Thank you and Eddy so so much for getting me into classical music. I enjoy listening to it more than ever and also came back to playing the piano after a couple years. I really love your videos and they really helped me get a good laugh when I was feeling down. You're such a huge inspiration for me and I aspire to someday play the violin like both of you. Keep going and doing what you love!🤗

So many linglings! That's really a fun video I love it!! And happy birthday Brett!!🥳🎂🎉

Happy Birthday Brett! Wishing you the best day ever!!! 🎉🎉

0:05 bretts scream 😂😂😂

Glad to see these types of videos back(their my favourite)

Been so long since the last video that I am so happy to see you guys finally back!!!

Happy Birthday dear Brett!! 🎂🎉 Because of you both, I am now motivated to be a composer and full-on conductor! You both helped me appreciate classical music even more to the point where I can name all the classical music pieces mentioned in any music book! Happy Day to everyone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!! this video was super fun and shout to the wonderful people who played!!
