I will practice one hour for each like this comment gets edit: oh no
Let's get this guy to 40
This isn’t going to end well
What does "fets" mean? I don't get what you're committing to here
currently at 69 hours
You will not
How to trick your audience into listening to a full symphony 😆
And then there are those who go straight to the end🙈
@@revekahmurguia4389 How dare they... I'm at the 10 minutes mark right now and there is no way I won't watch the entire video, it's just awesome!
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia I had to stop at 2 am, but here I am at 7:30 watching the rest of it!
Mahler isn't my cup of tea, but if the boys played through the whole symphony for the video, you best believe I'm watching all of it x)
Lol. That’s what I was Thinking. It’s been their plot the whole time. If Ty gets done this early in the channel, they never would have got to where they are. 🤭
You know its an accurate POV cuz I'm also usually looking at what the guy next to me is playing instead of actually sightreading
Why?
lol
Accurate☑️
Can't believe they took my comment and really played the whole Mahler Symphony!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 The dedication to play an over an hour long symphony, one of the most epic ones and film the whole thing for us to witness! Thank you, twoset!
Please could you tell me how you managed to get in touch with them? Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
when and where did you suggest this?!
@@juliegill6278 I didn't 🤣 I wished I did. I just commented under one of their vids (one of the recent ones, can't remember) that they should play and record the whole Mahler Symphony. I'm sure they didn't follow my comment but made the video out of their own inspiration. Don't think they go through the comment section that thorough.
They really do deliver🌟
Just watched the video where they encourage us to listen to it. Well, this does motivate to do so!
You thought it would just be another skit and then realized they are going to play the entire symphony😂😂😂
AHAHHAHA THE WAY BRETT WAS ANGRY AT ME FOR NOT TURNING THE PAGE
I know, I feel really guilty and I’m literally on Suzuki book 2
4:28😂
Like he’s literally closer to it than I am! WTH
@@BreakofDawn you re on the left
@@BreakofDawnin orchestra the person that’s closest to the center has to turn the page 😆
Fun/mentionable parts in the vid: 00:00 Brett saying hi 0:05 did you practice? 0:12 where's your pencil? 0:20 Eddy saying hi 0:37 tuning 1:00 start of the symphony 2:47 sneakily smiling at each other 3:10 that's what happens when you sightread and DON'T practice 40 hours 15:43 Eddy looking back and Brett frowning 17:30 Brett smiling in light confusion 21:02 just a fun part in the symphony 22:12 Brett vibing to the music 22:45 both sniggering over how hard it is (probably) 27:11 Brett touching the sheet music with his forehead because he blind 27:36 Brett's kinda signature pursed lips slight head shake 28:40 Eddy and Brett exchanging stuff 29:42 them vibing to the music/counting 35:36 nods of approval over the solo 46:08 Brett talking to his deskie 46:35 Brett "You have to turn the page, you know. It's okay, I know it's your first time" 47:00 the soft famous part in Mahler 5 48:15 Brett giving the pencil for his deskie/you to write 59:40 them smiling and shaking their heads 1:00:02 such an epic part!!! 1:02:00 struggling a bit 1:04:00 headshake over how difficult it is 1:08:05 more headshakes 1:11:45 Brett lowkey freaking out 1:12:03 Brett messing up the end 1:12:09 Coda, involving laughing, talking about the hard parts and chocolate muffin break Certainly not complete. Feel free to add!
36:06 Brett pizzicatos but Eddy doesn't
Let’s not forget about that one pair of violinists laughing at random communist jokes when the instructor is reprimanding the cello section for bad intonation…and squinting at the sheet music.
@@Tax_Collector01Bad intonation? Oh, you must mean the violas.
5:05 copying bowings of the front desk like a good tutti violinist
@@bryanlin8333 pro sightreader and orchestral musician for sure!
I can’t believe i just sat through an hour and 13 minutes of fake orchestra rehearsal. Would I do it Again? Absolutely Yes.
POV: you should be rehearsing, but you keep getting distracted by your cute deskie. And I can't believe you've tricked my ADHD ass into listening to the whole Mahler symphony. Well played, sirs.
Me, a percussionist: I think I'm in the wrong seat
(Awkwardly holding cymbals squeezed between two violins)
Me a pianist : I think I'm in the wrong room
im near-sighted so eddy being slightly out of focus really adds to my immersion
started watching, hit pause, grabbed my viola and played along :) haven't payed mahler 5 since high school so it was a rough read thru but it was fun ! thanks for motivating me to practice ^^
I can't believe how much rest the 1sts get in Mvmt 4... my back felt like it was gonna break when I played viola!
Beginner violinist here... I learned so much from watching Brett's right hand. The lack of tension, the hand framing at different positions, using different finger pad areas for different techniques, so much that cant be easily explained, but in a more dynamic way than a sterile classroom. please do more of these! this can shape the violinists of the future.
Same!
As of now, none of us in the comments have finished watching the video, we are commenting and not focusing on rehearsing.
LOL, this must be a dress rehearsal, I've never had a rehearsal without at least a few stops.
I'm in my pyjamas... 😂
@@utha2665 even dress rehearsals have a few stops, even with professional orchestras.
@@SupportTheArts-yo8ox Exactly, it was a pretty good sight reading and first rehearsal, maybe the Ling Ling orchestra?
4:39 the side eye after not turning the page lol actually me
no way this is actually an hour long 😭 love this tho
it IS
Crazy how they stuck a euphonium player in the violin section like this but I guess I’ll get by. 😂
Ah,that’s why you were a bit slack with the page turning!
I'm a choir singer. I'm starting to think I might be at the wrong rehearsal
As a euphonium player I appreciate this. ❤
OMG, I just did a grand Mahler 5 project with Netherlands Studenten Orkest. We rehearsed for 11 days (9h a day) and toured in 13 cities in the Netherlands and Germany for 13 concerts in 15 days. Our final one was in Concertgebouw last Sunday. An unforgettable memory.
How did I miss this 😩
geveliciteerd! Great job!
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT TWOSET GONNA PLAY THE WHOLE SYMPHONY TO MADE CONTENT FOR US 😭😭
they had been doing that like weekly before they *really* started making yt videos
Twoset lowkey fulfilling my dreams of joining the orchestra 😭😭😭😭😭 imagine sitting next to them while playing..... heaven!!!!
practice daily and you will 100% be in an orchestra
but they quit the orchestra though.... :)
@@devyysk I'm turning 29.. I'd love to learn an instrument but joining the orchestra I think would be impossible hehe 🥹😅
@@oongaboongagang Nothing is impossible! Try your best and I'm sure you could do it, good luck !
@@tabbymrp Yeah, but they did say that they missed it sometimes and that they would love to go back to orchestra just for the pure enjoyment of playing with others. I'm sure that if they were given the opportunity to do it as a one-off, they would do it. 😊
As a non-professional musician who simply loves classical music, it’s delightful to be invited to “into” the orchestra! Thanks guys. 🙂
20:17 Both come in early 20:26 Both Brett and Eddie notice they are early😂
Mahler 5 is easily one of the best pieces of the orchestral repertoire
oo its you
@@halokoko7638 indeed
😮 Mahler 2 all the way.
@@TeCoEd😮Mahler 6 all the way
Who was the orchestra?
*TIMESTAMPS:* 1st Movement (Trauermarsch): 0:57 2nd Movement: 13:25 3rd Movement (Scherzo): 28:59 4th Movement (Adagietto): 46:47 5th Movement (Rondo-Finale): 57:15
hahahah what a sneeky way to get your viewers to listen to your favorite symphony🤣
WAIT, A WHOLE POV?! FASCINATING.
If someone is wondering, it’s the hr-Sinfonieorchester playing (cond. Andres Orozco-Estrada)
Thanks
Oh, I was going to ask. They won't copystrike, I hope!
was it a public rehearsal? there seemed to be clapping at the end
Thanks a lot for the info! 👍🏻 The recording seems to be a dress rehearsal, but I looked up on the Internet and only found the concert. Is there somewhere we can find the recording used in this video or did Brett and Eddy cut/edited the concert to make it sound like a rehearsal?
The hr-Sinfonieorchester under Orozco-Estrada has published a few of my favourite recordings on KZhead.
There was this (very fine) principle clarinet player in the Rochester Orchestra & Chorale (Minnesota) who sat immediately in front of me (I was playing 3rd horn at the time) who HATED IT if anyone EVER tossed their pencil onto their music stand anywhere in his vicinity, but that was particularly true for me, with my stand only inches from the back of his head. I totally get it. The desk of the Manhasset stand acts like an amplifier, and even a tiny pencil creates a sudden & rather loud metallic noise when someone, after scratching some frantic notes in the music, hurriedly tosses their pencil down before their next entrance. Many years later I'm still rather careful about it. When Brett drops is pencil onto his stand (46:15... PLANG!) I immediately thought of that clarinet player. LOL
I guess im taking a 1 hour bath today
So real for that lol 😂
I'm literally about to have an hour long shower 😅😂
Mahler would rejoice!
You might need to replenish the bubbles for an hour long piece.
I do that every bath no worries
POV as conductor: you see them laughing at 2:46 at the most intense bit of music and instantly think whether it was something you did, quickly realise is some internal situation and go back to focusing on said intense music.
I like your channel, and I would love to have a side-by-side video of you conducting the symphony while Brett and Eddy are playing. 😄
me actually practicing mahler 5 with brett and eddy
I wish actual orchestra chairs were as comfortable as Eddy’s in this video..
Ugh yes. 3 hours in that crappy chair... 😢
@@stardustnite20 3 hours... I did three concerts in three days (all Tchaikovsky) so about 11 hours of playing overall, including patching, in one of those crappy chairs It nearly killed me lol
@@evorock ugh yes, concert weekends are rough! But something about the adrenaline of the concerts maybe, makes it slightly better for me.
@@stardustnite20 ohh this wasn't a weekend, this was a day lol. Playing Tchiak for 11 hours straight lol
@@evorock omg that's torture! 😭 the longest I've done is a 2 hour rehearsal followed by a 2 hour concert, then a 2 hour drive to another city to do another 2 hour concert. Different chairs at each venue tho, so it broke up the monotony on the booty. 🤣
The trombones sound like they practiced, too.
That s the first time I listen to a Symphonie in such detail. It seems to be the equivalent of a novel. There is a story and all kind of ups and downs in the narration of it.
I hope it got you hooked!!!
The giggles are so accurate. We always giggle!
As an audience, I'm all for being invited to sit with the orchestra! I promise I'll practice my page turning skills!
a one hour twoset pov skit?? WITH REAL AND SERIOUS PLAYING?? my life has been blessed.
I need a Brett as deskie all day every day for the rest of my life!
14.43 🤪 I also missed that one for my first time, if I remember well. I love the acting part: encouraging look to desk partner before difficult part comes, smiling on mistakes, waiting for your desk partner to turn the page, looking at the conductor, looking at wind players when they play a nice solo, concertmaster's desk for bowings.... SOOOO COOL!
8 AM, our 3 years old and I are enjoying this, such a beautiful morning once you start listening to this masters.
I genuinely felt bad for not turning the page 💀
Thankfully Brett was really kind about it. Better not missing it next time! 😉
TwoSet fullfilling so many wishes: 1) watching serious Eddy play in an orchestra 2) joining the violin section (voice gang here) 3) having a deskie 4) having Brett as my deskie 5) listening to all of Mahler 5 while being able to see the score and musicians 6) watching how professional musicians mark the score during rehearsal, and trying to puzzle out what some of the marks mean 7) Brett offering me the pencil like I know where we are and how to play 8) Brett showing how to turn pages like a pro (voice gang usually has a least one hand free all the time so we don't need to quickly grab a page) 9) Brett forgiving me for not turning pages since I'm a noob 10) watching Eddy practice during rests The only sad part was I couldn't shake Eddy's hand when he offered it. Does touching the screen count?
This is actually so crazy for someone who’s never been a part of any orchestra-youth or actual ones…!! Thank you twoset..
So one thing you might like to know is that youth orchestras are not just orchestras with minors (or some go to age 24 I think). They are competitive orchestras that only the best get to be part of. I was in orchestras as a kid, in conservatory the one year I went to that and just my Various teachers’ orchestras For their students other years. Everyone was a kid but it wasn’t a “Youth Orchestra”. Just fyi
@@M_SC thank you for this info…
i miss high school orchestra so much and i didn't even realize it
Playing in a group is almost everything. Join a community orchestra! Play in the town musical! You can find something
I'm jealous of people who had a high school orchestra. There was a band program but that ain't quite it.
@@evaneveryeah, my school has a band, but as far as orchestra goes the piano is the closest thing. no way I can sneak in my violin and how tf does a band have 3 guitars and not one good singer??? swear to God I watched them perform once and it was the weirdest version of creep I've ever heard.
Cool people who watched the entire thing without skipping 😎 (let's give them their well deserved watch time 😉)
Sounds like the rest of the orchestra is defiitely not rehearsing it for the first time 😆
It sounds like a dress rehearsal. Seems like Brett and Eddy missed all the previous ones. 😄
I like how they will smile, at something without even looking at each other, because they both know what happened.
Great fun you two. I’ve played this many times but as a viola player. Interesting being in the violins instead. I was in the SSO probably before you were both born, I left in 90, I was associate principal viola there then in the BBC symphony . The SSO used to do this very well. Also in one of the BBC tours to Japan we played the adagietto as an encore every night. Meanwhile the rest of the orchestra, apart from the strings and harp , were already in the pub. Keep up the great work guys.
Brett teaches you how to turn the page in orchestra 101: 28:00, 46:30, 1:00:38, 1:12:58.
And I still can't get it right...
Brett is so cute I can't 😢
I actually really like this concept. When you want to play along with a recording but don’t have visual queues and you don’t have the luxury of playing these pieces in a symphony orchestra or ensemble, it’s hard to come in without the added confidence of playing it live in with your section. I LOVED this. 🎉 Please keep them coming!
smoothest first rehearsal of all time😂
It's a good thing not everyone was sight-reading!
0:58 - Trauermarsch. In gemessenem Schritt. Streng. Wie ein Kondukt 13:24 - Stürmisch bewegt, mit größter Vehemenz 29:00 - Scherzo. Kräftig, nicht zu schnell 46:43 - Adagietto. Sehr langsam 57:16 - Rondo-Finale. Allegro - Allegro giocoso. Frisch
Thank you- super helpful!
I loved this, what a treat to see Twoset play Mahler 5 , up close and personal, for FREE!
You should make Eddy the concertmaster to fulfill his dream of being one. I don't know how to put this, but THIS is the type of video I love the most from Twoset!! You guys are incredible!!
This is my favorite video from them in all these years so far… had it downloaded 😭
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FORMAT
I hope you won't get copystrike for this video!! This is S tier Twoset video!! I hope it can get as popular as the Tiger mom one!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
They won’t, it’s classical music, it’s old music, so no one is alive to own it
@@crystalgaming12 but the PERFORMANCE might have a copy right in it. I don’t think it does though. Or the recording of it.
I mean Brett's OWN LIVE Mendelssohn with the SSO was copystriked😒And more like SS tier Twoset vid XD
@@tweepy123 it was copy strikes for the piano music played in the intervals- which was actually open for use. And it was corrected. Though not before they lost revenue for the period it was mistaken as copystrikable
The way I SQUEALED just now when I saw there is a new TwoSetViolin video LONGER THAN AN HOUR?!?! 😱😭😻💖 And then a MAHLER SYMPHONY of all things?! *chefs kiss* 😘👌 WOW, Ling Ling has truly blessed us with such lengthy quality content 🙌✨ No but seriously, thank you Brett & Eddy for doing this for us ❣ ✨🎻🎻✨
As a beginner, I appreciate this camera angle, I've been watching Brett's left hand, and the string crossings.
This made me feel like a musician. I felt special
As a trumpet player in the orchestra, I had a perception that the violins were playing ALL THE TIME! I was amazed at how many rests you had. Also, were the bowings marked in the music? It seemed like you were bowing together the vast majority of the time, but it was obvious when one was down bowing and the other was up bowing. Thanks for sharing.
Now that I am a few minutes in, I realise that this might be the whole Mahler piece with twoset actually playing, what a pleasant surprise!! 🎉
I like Brett's checking on the conductor, and his "neighbor"!😂
2:47 love how they smile sneakily with/at each other here.
Friendliest orchestra ever 😄
played this in college - this makes me want to print out a cello part and play along!!!!
Brett sinks into orchestral mode like a glove. Don't think either of them has forgotten anything about their days in the orchestras. Pretty amaaazzzing.
They talked about how they miss it. They love performing their own shows but being part of an orchestra is something else. I'm sure that if they were given the opportunity to go back to orchestra just once, for the pleasure of playing a symphony on stage with other musicians, they would do it in a heartbeat. 😊
Yes, I remember. BTW, Ray Chen talked about how much Brett had improved with the Mendelsohn performance and here we get to see how relaxed his wrist is and how he conserves the bow. Very satisfying and so happy for him! @@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia
@@graceonaga3094 Oh, I loved that video where Ray reviewed their progress over the years ! Their playing have really improved a lot. I think that getting new violins and having the opportunity to perform on stage a lot have helped them step up their games. Plus I really like that they practice what they preach. They don't just rest on their laurels but always try to improve and push themselves. And it really pays off, we can see the results. Props to them 👍🏻
Yup, totally agree. The vid was sort of out of focus on Eddy so couldn't see him really closely, but this was all about the deskie experience. @@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia
@@graceonaga3094 What made me laugh was Brett constantly looking up and taking glances at the invisible conductor and/or concertmaster. 😄 Which actually makes me wonder if they didn't have a video recording on a screen in front of them ; in that case Brett may have been looking at the real conductor and concertmaster of the orchestra they were following...
“Ok everyone, we’ll break here, it’s 2am. See you back for rehearsals bright and early tomorrow”
No, that's wrong. It's "We have 3mins left of rehearsal; let's take it one more time from the top."
That's such a funny timing!! I have to prepare this for the London Symphony Orch later this month and freaking out a bit already... so seeing the whole Symphony from the violin perspective is really interesting and helpful!
Bravo. You two should the real stuff , the actual behaviour , tension and enjoyment in a Mahler 5 playthrough.
Something about this video is so comforting, like I am safe here-a comforting nostalgia. While watching I was able to let go of stress and take a few breaths (even though Mahler can be intense sometimes lol) You both really created something special here 🤍 thank you!!
Fascinating to see them "at work" and get some idea of what it's like for an individual player in an orchestra. I don't think, based on their published content, that they ever have actually played in the same orchestra. I loved the mix of acting and actual work. My guess is a real rehearsal would involve more stopping for input from the conductor, but this was still great! PS, Sorry about the page turning - it's my first day. I'll try to do better next time.
They were in the Australian Youth Orchestra together from when they first met. It’s not professional, but a very high standard. Also their uni orchestra. But yeah, I don’t think they’ve ever been in the same professional orchestras at the same time. And this is quite a high level sight reading run through, isn’t it! 😛
@@susanbryant6516 It certainly is! I'm actually more in awe of sight reading skills than feats of memorisation. Thanks for the info!
I was only ever in Band and played Clarinet, but I don’t mind pretending and living a little vicariously through you guys ❤
3:10 that's what happens when you sightread and DON'T practice 40 hours.
This is one of the VERY, VERY BEST videos. Thank you TwoSetViolin. You should be getting a gazillion views. This is awesome.👋👋👋❤❤
I'm in shock: over an hour long video, in the middle of the week, the whole symphony - too much happiness at once🎉🥰
Over an hour of continuous Brett and Eddy content? Yes please, and thank you! 😎👍🏻
Mahler’s. F*cking. F*fth. Legendary.
I am very glad brett is my deskie. May have not practiced, but he had my back. Plus thanks for the pencil brett!
This was posted on my most tiring work day of the week and I wasn’t sure if I was up for rehearsal. But 10 minutes of this and my motivation was back. (The rehearsal was fun and energising too, so, thank you.)
after the tiger mom hit 🤭🤭 you guys are so creative
Awesome idea for POV. Now a musician can wear VR and experience being in the orchestra with you.
Big thank you, you are introducing interesting aspects of playing, listening, enjoying classical music. Mahler some more.
Thanks for this! Really makes clear how brilliantly orchestrated this symphony is.
Recently saw MTT conducting this with the San Francisco Symphony last month for what may have been his last time🥲💙😭 Incredibly moving and happy to relive it, thanks twoset!
Ah! How wonderful! I am so disappointed I missed MTT with the SFS. But I did make it to SF for the Twoset show 😊
Do you miss your orchestra life, Brett and Eddy? Does this video make you feel nostalgic? I hope you enjoy filming it, cause I enjoy watching it so much!!
This video is fulfilling a demand that I didn’t realise was there, yet it’s brilliant in every single way. 💙 I hope it soars and really pays off the hard work you’ve put into producing it. We really appreciate it. 🌟
how do violin players resist the urge to bite their deskie's scroll an hour of that thing waving near my face? the intrusive thoughts would win i fear
The struggle is real, but there is always the risk of losing a tooth if the next passage is particularly violent lol
I can now fulfill my lifelong dream of roleplaying as a violinist! Thank you Twoset!
My problem with this symphony is that I always want to listen to the adagietto again so i never get to the end.
I’m still confused why I, a flutist sit in the violin section. But it was an amazing experience🧡
Maybe you were all teleported into some movie/show into an orchestra scene, which the movie makers don't have the resources to care sheet about where you're sitting 😆
@@tweepy123haha, that reply made me laught
14:59 Brett continuously being considerate seeing if you need to write something
I. Trauermarsch- 0:59 II. Stürmisch bewegt, mit größter Vehemenz - 13:25 III. Scherzo - 28:59 IV. Adagietto - 46:47 V. Rondo Finale - 57:16
No way.. Now I have to learn this symphony so I can play it with you guys!! Thank you for taking the time to learn the whole Mahler symphony for us!
the whispering while the conductor speaks lol
Honestly, I have no words. This video is stellar. And I will leave everything else that could be said about it in that one word. Thank you for this. Truly.
This is the symphony of Mahler. _The_ symphony.
When I was in college as a music major I played in the wind ensemble, but I did my work study with the orchestra (basically stage set up and tear down for rehearsals). I loved getting to sit in the auditorium and basically get a free concert, and really enjoyed seeing the group work. This reminds me of that, getting to sit in and just enjoy the musicianship.
Probably the best video they've ever made. Fantastic X a million.
Sorry I missed the page turn. So embarrassing...
wow, you too? same here! 😭 lol
I'm usually brilliant at page turning. I dropped the ball on this one
Yes! The tuba player sounds great, too! Yes!
