Sounds weisen. German. Whatever. Eddie: It says don't laugh, in brackets.
Brett: Yeah, don't laugh. So obviously we are not gonna laugh. Eddie: Yeah. Don't laugh. Brett: Don't laugh. (Enjoy suffering) (*Evil laugh*) (Instrumental) Eddie: Dude, it's some epic midi. Brett: Mhm. Yeah, it is. (Pray for these bois) (*PLZ PRAY*) Brett: God! Eddie: Pause right there. Collect myself. Brett: It didn't help, you were breathing deeply. I was all good until you went *DEEP BREATH* I was like❗️oh no❗️ It wasn't...*laughter* Eddie: First of all, you should never laugh at another musician. They're just trying their best. Brett: Yeah, sorry. That's very rude of me. I apologise. Eddie: But that top note was something special. Brett: That was exactly what I was thinking. I was like don't laugh, Brett. It's rude. He's trying. Anyways, let's keep going. I promise I won't laugh now, I got it out of my system. Eddie: How did he do that pizz? He only got the G string. Brett: No - It's - It's cause he did it so - Elegantly and seriously. Eddie: He goes bam, but then only the G string speaks. Brett: Yeah. Nah. Okay, sorry. I promise this time I won't laugh. Maybe he's an adult beginner that's only been learning for one week. Brett: Yes.
Eddie: That's amazing. Brett: It's pretty impressive.
Eddie: Good on you man. What's your name? Xin Fan. Eddie: Xin Fan. No, that's not him.
Brett: Maybe that's not him How genius he is. Brett: Anyway, let's keep going. Eddie: I just saw the comment, wait. See the comment. Brett: What does the comment say? Eddie(+Brett): Wow~You will be a good viola player. Brett: Great advice. Brett: I know I saw that. Eddie: Pause. Did you see his vibrato? Brett: His fingers like.. It was like... Yeah.
Eddie: Dude, that was the most unnecessary - Oh man. Brett: Okay. Eddie: Let's keep going. Brett: I'm not laughing. Eddie: I'm not - You laugh, you lose. Good Harmonics. Good Harmonics. Don't laugh, it's rude. I can't be rude. Brett: Close. Very close. Eddie: I want this recording played at my funeral. I think I see the light. Brett: At least he moves in the right direction. Eddie: Dude, even the midi sounds like Asian. *Brett imitates the midi* Eddie: It's like Asian flute. Brett: It's Ling Ling -- When Ling Ling practices. We are not even up to the fast part yet. Eddie: Oh, yeah. See if you guys can sit through this whole thing without laughing. Brett: I'm getting used to it. Eddie: No, it's cause you're not looking at him. Go look at his face. Brett: That needs rosin(?). You laughed. Eddie: Yeah, cause that rosin's gonna solve that? That's amazing vibrato. (Hold it in!) Brett: I can't. Eddie: Dude -- Dude... Eddie: I'm crying...
Brett: Dude, that was so -- Eddie: I'm crying. Brett: Oh shit. Eddie: I'm crying... Brett: Dude, the spiccato got me man. *Spiccato imitation* Dude, those sound! Eddie: Imagine you are in a concert and you gotta sit through that you have to sit through that without laughing. Brett: Oh no. Actually, you know, it happened once. Eddie: It has happened many times. Brett: When I was in... An orchestra competition... Eddie: Okay. Brett: So this - I won't say the school name, but it was a school orchestra that played after our orchestra, in our school. Eddie: Okay. Brett: I had a friend called Fred. He used to play violin. Eddie: Okay. Brett: When we were sitting there, the teacher - Our teacher - The conductors sit next to us, we are sitting there. And the conductor does this. Like in the concert. They were playing some... Whatever piece it was. The conductor goes like this and you hear someone go *Brett imitates noise* Before they started playing. And I lost my shit. Brett: Throughout the whole...I laughed. I started crying.
Eddie: Did you laugh or were you like holding it? I was holding it. I started crying. And it didn't help when Fred, who's next me, start losing his shit. And then our teacher was like... Stop laughing! -- But she was laughing. The teacher was laughing. Stop laughing and we just-- *Laughs* And I had to leave. I had to leave. It was too much. Eddie: Yeah. Brett: Oh, dude that was... This guy's got talent. Eddie: Oh man... Brett: Because he can... Like he went - He's busting it out through the whole piece. Non-stop. I don't think I can do that. Eddie: We gotta finish it.
Brett: Alright. Eddie: We gotta make it through the end without laughing. Brett: 5:56. No more laughing now. Eddie: Just pretend we are in a concert.
Brett: Oh shit, that was so hard. Okay concert time now. Oh shit. Brett: Oh.. Oh... Eddie: Oh my god. Brett: If you made - Okay. If you watch this, you made it through the whole video, I applaud you. Because this requires some self-discipline. Eddie: I don't know about you like - If I'm stuck in like a situation where I can't laugh, it makes it even funnier. Brett: Yeah.
Eddie: The fact that we can't laugh. Brett: I know. I had to like bite my thumb. Like pain. That's a - That's advice. If you are ever stuck in a... concert where you want to laugh. You just bite your own thumb. Brett: Tense like different muscle.
Eddie: Yeah. Brett:I mean it's different - Oh, actually I went to the dentist last week. And you know like drilling your teeth, cleaning your teeth hurts, right? And when they clean your teeth, I clenched my toes. Eddie: Ah, yeah. Brett: And it kind of like stop the pain. Kind of goes arrgh. You are focus down there. Anyways, but this is a... This is next level... If you are learning this piece right now, please send us your recordings. We will watch it. We will react to it and we'll make a video about it. If we get enough submissions. Eddie: How are they going to send it? Brett: Upload it into Dropbox or Google Drive or somewhere in the cloud and send it to the email: hi@twosetviolin.com and in the subject please write... Zig... ...eunerweisen. Sarasate. And we will review it next week. And we will react to it. Eddie: Props on this guy for - doing this. He is obviously an adult beginner. Maybe even self-taught and... And that takes courage to upload yourself playing such a difficult piece. Brett: And he memorized the whole piece. Eddie: Yeah, that's true.
Brett: I bet you how many of you guys watching now has memorized a piece like this. You know? And he had the balls to put it online. Eddie: At the same time, if you have the balls to put that online Brett: Please have the balls to use a tuner and a metronome. Actually, he was kinda on time. Because of the backing track. Like - Eddie: Yeah.
