Hello, guys. Guess what's happening today? Viola gang, viola gang, viola gang, viola gang, viola gang, viola gang, viola gang... That's right. Today we are sightreading music on the viola. - The most superior instrument...
- Wow. As stated by the viola king. Dude, it's so shiny. It's like reflecting from the lights. For those of you that don't know... This is like a very cheap viola. But guess what, guys? Keep them subscribers coming cause we're almost at three mil subs. And guess what happens at three mil subs? Sibelius drop! That's right. Accent the like button. Legato the subscribe button, so Eddy can play Sibelius on an epic live stream. That's right, you Sibelius simps. Three mil subs and Eddy will play Sibelius for you guys. All right, five levels as usual. You guys can comment and vote who you think did better. And the one that didn't do as well will have to play a viola piece of your choice in the comments below. Oh my god. Scissors, paper, rock. Scissors, paper, Sibelius! - Power of Sibelius.
- All right. I can't even read this clef, what note is that? Viola uses a weird clef that none of the other string instruments use, called a freaking alto clef. Nah, bro. Pretty sure you played like five wrong notes there. Level one! Good start to this episode. All right, next one. All right, nah, I got this. I played a bit of viola, back in high school. Have fun. That's an E right? What? Dun-duh-dun... La~ Duh-luh-luh-luh... Who did better? Vote. Next one. Elegy. You went for it. That's all I got. Nah, B flat. What? Was that right? B flat. Nice. Good try.

- I don't know. Yeah. I was like... - I was like -
- I just saw Bruch. I was like, oh. No, I was thinking like, "yeah, I know that too." Oh, treble clef, oh, that's cheating. No, bro! Oh. What? What? Oh! Cause you think it's A string. - Yeah, oh!

- Dude... Schubert Arpeggione. Oh, I know this one! Dah-dah~ Dah-dah~ - Oh, nice, I know that one.
- Dah~ Dah-dah-dah-dah~ Dah-dah-dah-dah~ Dude, that's not fair, you know... That's not fair! Dude... Oh! Dah-dah~ Dah-dah... Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah~ Oh, treble. Where is this from? What was it originally for? For arpeggione and piano. Level 4, Glinka Sonata. What's this - Nah... D, F~ Oh... Nice. Powerful. Inspiring. Help. Help. Blink twice if you need help. Vieuxtemps Capriccio. Solo viola. Voila. This viola's like... Incapable. Yeah. - I think I played the wrong notes as well.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh, it's an octave. Oh, it's piano. My bad. Wow, you really did break the chord up. Yeah. G becomes a - B becomes a C. F becomes a G. That's a big chord. I was just imagining, I was playing this in like a lesson. The teachers is being like... "Oh my god." "I didn't get paid enough for this." Yeah. - Look, you guys already know...
- Oh... What it's going to sound like, - so, I'm not even going to try -
- Dude, look at the tempo. Ba-ba-ba-ba-bam. Ba-bam~ Dah-ba-bam. Bam-bam-bam-bam-bam~ All right, you ready, you ready? Um... I'm actually curious what it's meant to sound like. Dude, that sounds actually kind of nice. - That's actually cool.
- I think anything sounds nice after that. Yeah, that's true. It's a comparison effect. Yeah, it's a comparison effect. Cause I was like, why does the viola sound so pleasant for once? It's a comparison effect. Ah... That makes sense. What the... Paganini? Paganini wrote for... Viola... No, it's a different clef now. - Alto clef.
- Oh. My bad. No, treble... Oh! - Dude...
- Dude, what is this? I'm so confused. Oh! Uh... What string? I keep playing the wrong string. Are you serious? Woah! Dude... What is that? Dude, as if your hand can go around that. Dude, that is injury. I feel like my hands are too small for the viola. Like my pinky struggles with the viola a lot. It just hurts. All right, guys. Who won, who lost? Comment below. I think Brett should learn the Paganini on viola. I think it would be pretty funny. All right, guys. That's it. Simp Sibelius. Please accent the like button. Three mil subs... And we're gonna do it! Sibelius simping live stream. All right, guys. See you guys next time.
