Hello. Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin. Here with... Our cello teacher from the video way back where he taught us Swan Lake. Not Swan Lake! Le Cygne. Le Cygne! Le Cygne... And we have Angie joining us on the viola today. We couldn't get any violists to volunteer. Angie bravely stood up. What we're gonna do today... is we're doing the... ...challenge. But this time, it's a quartet edition. I mean, nothing new, right? Every first quartet rehearsal is usually... Always. No one really practices their part beforehand. - I mean, you should, but... - You should, but... I shouldn't have said that. As usual... go as far as we can until someone messes up. We're gonna rotate in our 1st, 2nd violins. It's fair. And the person that messes up the most has to shout everyone bubble tea. Oh, I've got a lot of semiquavers going on. This is level 1! Well, you're picking a tempo. That's alright. Sounds like andante, but it's okay. It's allegro. Alright, I'll go a bit faster. Alright, bubble tea! Oh, we're in 2? Oh...yeah... - Damn, level 1. - Hyung: Epic, yeah. Epic. - Let's try again just for fun. - Try again. Yeah, I want to actually play a little bit, hey. Better! That sounds better. What was that? That was sus. What happened at the end? I think I was a bar early. - Oh. - Oh. I'm a violist. It's fine. Schubert is level 1? Dude, that's not easy! What the hell? Look at that! Something sounds sus! Brett: What happened? Whoa. Nah, nah, nah! - Eddy: Someone's messing up. - Hyung: It wasn't me. Eddy: Someone's messing up. We were together. We were together. - Angie: We were together. - Hyung: Yeah... Brett: Were we together? Alright, something's sus... They're not being honest right now. I thought I was on time. That means lie. Yeah, I know! Actually, there was a sus moment... ...there, somewhere. This way. Oh, I'll cop it. Alright, it's me. Eddy: Oh man. You gotta take one for the team next. This is level 2? Dude, no way! Two flats. Oh! I didn't even see- Oh! - Brett: Oh, he saved it! - Angie: Thanks, thanks! Oh... Nah, I messed up... I played an E natural. I also played a wrong note. I messed up after 7th bar. 7th bar? I messed up on the... - Brett: Mine was like, 2nd line. - Eddy: 12, 13... 15th bar. I went... Yeah, I was like, I did the same thing, too! - Eddy: Nah, Angie messed up on 7th bar. That's okay. - Angie: I think... - Angie: I'll cop this one. - Brett: Okay, Angie lost it. Yeah! Woo! I wanna play it a little bit more. Alright, let's play a bit more. Let's go from... What? F sharps. What's happening? I heard F naturals. Yeah, it's F... Let's go over the fast part again. What are you doing?! What are you doing?! I don't know what's going on. I couldn't even tell though. - Brett: I couldn't tell. - Eddy: That's the funniest part. Brett: I just heard a bunch of bass. That's slow, no? Yeah... Up bow? - What was that? - What was that? - Oh, did the camera get that? - Yeah... - Hyung is actually getting into it. - Eddy: ...getting into it. - I'm feeling the vibes. - Brett: It's like... Oh, we gotta do that. Ready? Eddy: Dude, that's the worst opening. F***! D flats! It's my bad. That was me. Alright, that was Eddy. But was I really the only one that messed up though? Yeah! - Brett: It's a bit sus there. - Eddy: I was like, "This sounds pretty sus, too." I mean, I'll cop it. But let's try that again. Nah, okay. Nah, nah. Dude, that's not fair. You guys have such an easy part. I forgot my D flat. - Oh, for sure. - Yeah, I heard that. I know this one. Is this Beethoven? Oh, it's Op. 18 No. 4. Oh, I've played the first for this. So, it's good. We're sight-reading the other way around. What the hell is this? Dude, I can't sight-read that. Aw, I f**ked up. He was trying up bow staccato. Good attempt, good attempt. You messed up yourself. No, but someone's meant to come in, no? - Me! - Brett: Not me, I don't know about- - Hyung: Someone... My bad. - Yeah! So, Angie messed up! - Hyung: Yeah! - She missed her entry. - That's why you were looking at someone. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something felt off, right? - You're like, "Someone's supposed to come in." Nah, let's do it again. So slow. Brett: What? Eddy: Were you like, two bars early? - Yeah. - You're two bars early. I love the conviction. You just belted it out. Oh, my god. It gets so messed up. Do you have the melody with me? I don't know if this is a melody though. A flat. Oh, thanks. We haven't started, yeah. Save! Save! Oh, save! No! What is that? What is that? Survived. I was getting scared of the unison, - so I was like, oh, it's exposed now. - Yeah, we're like, ooh... What does risoluto mean? It means you better be resolute. - Ooh. - Or you're gonna get messed up. Wait. No, wait. What happened? Oh, I have quavers. I didn't play 'em. Oh. One, two, three! Oh. That is three on Angie. Try again. Brett: What... Eddy: That's... Two, three... Piu animato. - Yeah, I think we're at different places, right? - Yeah, we were. - Angie: Yeah. I think we got to B at the same time. I think Angie was somewhere, like... I got up to B. Yeah, yeah. Tempo di valse. Whoa. - I start but... - Angie: Yeah. I don't know what's going on. Don't look at me! Nah, I got lost. But Angie threw me off. - I didn't. - Eddy: I don't know if you messed up. - I don't even know. - We were together. Oh, were we together? Oh, we were together. You guys both messed up. - No. No, no. - No, I remember Angie's doing a... different bowing so I was like, oh, man, I'm... I don't know what's going on. I think Brett should just take it. I think you, too, should. - Me? - Yeah. I didn't mess up! He should take it. I wasn't the one that was out of time. I didn't mess up! It's like a voting thing now. Yeah. - Eddy. - Brett: Eddy. The rules have changed. You're so screwed. Dude, I'm f***ed. I'm just going to surrender. What was that noise? Because it's easy. No, I f***ed it. Alright. Brett. - Voting Brett. - Angie and Hyung: Brett. - Alright, alright. It's me. He's on two now. Dude, what the hell? - Dude, I'm so messed up. - Angie: Ooh. Nah, but Hyung's messed up before me. You've got a bunch of chords. - Brett: We know he's... - Nah, I'm just gonna call him out, even if you know. So slow. Why are you laughing? I'm playing... What the f...? Two, three... One, two, three... - No, two, one, two... - Oh. One, two... What was that? I'm... Dude, what is that?! Why is it so...? Dude, what? I looked up and he was just like... It's meant to be like 3/8, 5/8, like meter changes, but you're just having the same pulse the entire time. I was kind of doing the same thing. I was going... We were looking at each other. Yeah. I'm lost. I think we tie. - Yeah. - We're both on three. Even though I just got voted, but... Me and Hyung had an alliance going, you know. Of course. Always. I guess I'll get the bubble teas. Just the bubble tea? - Well, what else? Like, Korean barbecue? - Well, why don't you get... - Yeah, Korean barbecue. - You get Korean barbecue and I'll get bubble tea. - Hyung: Yeah. She's negotiating. Since we tied. Alright, guys, that's it. Thanks for watching. Yeah, quartets are good for you. Brett: You know, in general. Like and subscribe. We'll see you guys next time. Bye.
