the reason I made this post was cuz my mom saw a story on my ig about me being able to spend 8 hours (not consecutive) drawing, but she immediately asked me about being unable to spend even 15 mins practicing. I can. my motivation just gets really drained really quickly. honestly I'm still really mad at her (like could you have at least complimented the rendering or something? I spent 8 hours on that thing for a reason holy crap. it doesn't automatically mean I don't care about music)

so for the past (honestly idk how many) years, I've just been completely demotivated to practice at all. I love music, analyzing it, even making it (I have a MuseScore profile and am trying out Reaper), and playing (in certain scenarios which I will get to in a moment). but I can never bring myself to practice. I was raised on classical music, my parents can play piano, I've had piano and violin tutors since probably at least 4 or 5, but I've struggled with practicing on my own since at least covid (maybe even farther back). however, I rejoined a music club I had previously left (due to fears of performing on stage) and my passion for music really ignited there, it didn't feel like a burden/chore to play, and it felt free.

the likely reasons are just that I felt pressured (even subconsciously) to always play classical music and never any other genre (when my dad/someone else teaches me different improv techniques, I'm usually quite stoked to learn), or my (possible) ADHD, honestly I have no clue myself. I just hope I'll be able to get out of this slump

it has been a long journey since i first watched 2setviolin. their video really inspired me to learn violin (i havent, until now bc of financial issues, but i learnt erhu few weeks ago) and more about classical music. it was never an end. their spirit lives on through me, and us. now go practice!!!

I get it, what he did was really crappy, I get it, but omg. There's a reason why Brett and Eddy have wanted to separate themselves from the fandom and this is exactly why. Everyone acts like every issue is impacting then in a personal way when it isn't. They didn't ask you to white knight for them, they didn't want everyone to just start vitriolically hating on him. And this didn't just start with Ray Chen either. The whole time before they came back the fandom just acted like B&E personally punched their dog. It's their channel. It's their life. They don't owe you anything, and they sure as hell don't need everyone making what seems to be a delicate situation even worse.

I saw that the new videos were back, but noticed that some of the videos on the B2TSM were private and deleted. Does anybody know what happened?

My violin teacher gave me this from one of her Chinese books, which only have the composer’s name and basic title in each piece. Tried searching up “Mozart violin Adagio in D major” but I can only find an adagio in E major.

I know all the songs were released as singles first but I’ve been waiting to get the whole album.

Maybe

"If you can cry a lot slowly, you can cry a lot quickly" 😭😭😭

IT'S AN END OF A ERA!!! (and I will going to miss them 😭) by the way, the music video was so BEAUTIFUL and so EMOTIONAL to watch (a little bit of off-topic but the two kids in the MV are so cute, yes very cutie like my Mozzarella huhu ☺️☺️) as the Forever Symphony MV was the most emotional video that I had watch and almost got me to cry a lot 😭😭😭 while the song is so catchy (even the chorus 🤧) and it really like the disbanding song (only K-pop fans will know it lol 🙃) of B2TSM but I want to cry forever nonstop when I'm listening to the song on repeat. Well, how about the lyrics? God, the whole lyrics is so meaningful and also so symbolic since there was a lot of lines in the lyrics that puts me in tears today 😭 but I'm also imagine that Eddy and Brett singing the song instead of B2TSM because it is also very suit for their last time as TSV. 😭😭😭

NOTE: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH AND BAD GRAMMAR 😔

Whelp, here we are - TwoSet has done all the B2TSM videos, they've done the livestream, brought back their old videos, and more. This is, as far as we have been promised, it. So what's next? Here are some scenarios that I have come up with --

• r/twosetviola takes off and becomes a global phenomenon, ending viola jokes forever ;)
• TSV will likely lose some subscribers and popularity, as channels that stop producing tend to do that (already down 0.2 million subs since they left)
• Some other music YouTubers will rise to popularity
• TSV will resume tours and create a new, entertaining and/or educational experience, likely separate from the TSV branding itself
• This sub will likely become a hub for general music discussion, with increasingly less discussion of TSV and B&E than before
• TwoSet fans start practicing only 39 hours a day (shame on you all for that...)
• The spirit of TSV will hopefully live on, even if they stop producing content

I'm just glad the old videos have come back.

Good luck to Brett and Eddy on their next journey!

YEEEEES!

There is another post in the Community page of their YouTube Channel. This one is longer than the one they posted on October 14th.

This to me feels like one final, pretty knot on the ribbon holding together a gift of classical music that we cherish together.

Dear Ling Ling Wannabes,

This is a message we never thought we'd have to write so soon. After years of sharing our passion for classical music, humour, and practicing 40 hours a day, the time has come for us to take a step back from social media.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for everything you've given us. You've laughed with us, cried with us, roasted us, roasted together and turned what started as a simple dream into something far bigger than we could have imagined. Through all the ups and downs, you've been our constant source of inspiration and motivation. We all share the same love for music, laughter, and creativity that brought us together in the first place.

While we won't be active on social media anymore, this isn't goodbye. If you'd like to stay in touch and be the first to hear about our future projects - maybe even a chance to perform to you all, enjoying classical music and comedy together - sign up on our website https://www.twosetviolin.com.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for every moment you've shared with us. It's been an honour to share this journey with you, and while our social media lights may dim, the music - and the connections we've built together will always play on.

Brett & Eddy

TwoSet Violin

PS GO PRACTICE

So you heard the men. Go practice.

I looked at the website to see if there was anything I could get as only just went back on YouTube againbut found some shady website selling 'TwoSet Apparel' (Printerval) where they claim it is original work! Just thought is warn people as it looks like a scam website that will take your money and dip out.

Given that this will be the last time we will be getting merch from them, what would you be buying and why?

(Mods feel free to take down this post if you want, just discussing the last merch line from twoset 🥲🥲🥲)

TwoSet's old videos have finally returned after a very, very long wait. I can't seem to find the 3mil and 2 mil livestreams tho.

I am planning to do an exam in piano as soon as possible, so if anyone here knows how to play any of these pieces, please help me and give some tips. By the way, even general tips about piano playing are greatly appreciated.

The Lark by Glinka

Beethoven piano sonata Op. 10 No.1 in C minor (Little Pathetique)

Bartok Bulgarian Dances 2 and 6

Thank you!!!!

It’s more of a my obsession, but since I saw Forever Symphony, I’m wondering where they leave for. Did they go back to the era which they were originally belonged? Or, as they are already spiritual entities for music, did they leave for another time and another place, where someone really needs classical music and freedom of art. Shostakovich made me really cry. 😢 I imagined he must’ve spent better time here and now. He could’ve taught young generation and passed on his passion without any restrictions. Haha, I must be too much obsessed their video. ❤️🎻

We’ve heard TwoSet’s side of the story, maybe Ray might make a video explaining his. But, no matter what happens, please don’t blow it out of proportion. It’s private issues between TwoSet and Ray, and we don’t need to be involved. Please, as fans, let’s keep it respectful. It looked like they were pressured into saying something on the live stream. So please don’t talk about it.

Side note: thank you, TwoSet, for everything ❤️, we love you! Merry Christmas 🎄

I really feel sad that they’re leaving. But I wish them all the best. They truly made a difference in my life. I wish I hem all the best, and I hope they keep succeeding in what they want to do next. THANK YOU TWOSETVIOLIN ☺️❤️❤️♥️

Thanks for all the laughs, I hope you can look back at these eleven years and see how you gave over 4 MILLION people something to smile about with all your work(merch, concerts, videos, etc) kudos to you and the crazy ride made 4 million people be part of.

If you're comfortable, feel free to share what pieces you performed in the auditon or any reccs <3

whether you guys watched it live or not, who else drank some in honor of TSV ?? feel free to share what order u guys got!

As per Livestream 17:24 the viola have been charged with the task to take over. (Thanks for the trust, BaE.)

So, lingling community, what do you need is violas to do?

What are you planning to do, violas? Are we just conquering the world of do we have bigger aims?

I just watched their latest MV, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cft-JWijswE, and it made me cry. I'm sad that they will not be making more content, but they have already left an irreversible and positive impact in my life. As an amateur musician, I learned so much from watching your videos and found the passion for music again after taking a long (10+ years) break.

Part of coming into contact with many different people is learning that not everyone is genuine and kind, and in fact, they are probably more the exception than the norm, especially among people who are "successful". It was great to see Brett and Eddy succeed in a world that rewards deceitful and unscrupulous behaviour. They had love for their fans and stayed true to the meaning of art to the end.

Liberation of the soul is the one thing we can control Only art and science can raise men to the level of gods...

Literally the title. I never bought any of the merch I wanted and now that it's gone I lowkey regret it. Of course I could still order B2TSM merch but it's not the same. Is anyone else in the same shoes as me?? Ah well, we live and we learn.

Edit: It's okay guys we can all suffer together lol.

I guess part of me always thought TwoSet would be here forever (I know that's so naive) so even though I've been a fan for a pretty long time, I always thought I would have time to save up and buy something from their shop. 😥

I don't care if that is true, I will not defend anything he's done, but TwoSet would not be proud of their fandom taking a piece of information from their personal lives and running with it. I know they discussed what happened in their livestream, but I sense they were hesitant to share it (for the reason being the discussion going rampant about what exactly happened). They also do respect him as a musician, and I'm starting to see a lot of people devalue his musicianship because of what happened or maybe what people have wanted to say before it was aired out to the public. But even if you've wanted to say it long before, it's a little weird and distasteful for people to start being vocal about their distaste for him immediately after the livestream. You can take this with two grains of salt but I'm not liking the attitude around him, where I feel like Twoset just wanted the rumors and discussion about Ray to settle.
