Attention on B2TSM MVs from non-TwoSetters

As I'm watching "Love Like That" for the umpteenth time because it's so beautiful and poignant, I'm wondering if the MVs are getting any attention from the wider classical music or pop community. In particular, "Love Like That" and "Liberation of the Soul" since those have the least B2TSM-lore references. Does anyone have a feeling on how those are doing?

Is it js me or I feel very violent whenever I have to practice SLOWLY and make mistakes

It feels like something gets under my skin. Also how do I stop my violin from slipping off my shoulders? Not to mention that my fingers hit the peg whenever I do vibrato in A open string 😭

love like that mv

idk I just watched it and wanted to talk about the final shot: immediately when I saw the tea cup I thought about how Tchaikovsky died: cholera, although speculated to be suicide through contaminated water. so I have a ✨theory✨ the whole video were the final things he thought about when he died?

Anyone know what happened to Sanna Iljin?

She was the soprano featured in Professional vs Beginner. Been following her since around that time. Over the years, she's posted stuff on her Instagram, but she stopped posting earlier this year. Also I haven't seen any new performances by her. Was wondering if any of you here also follow her or know more about her.

People who can't attend the livestream - do you want me to ask anything?

I've been in two minds about attending the livestream. I probably can, but there's a small chance I won't be able to make it. Or I may have to leave before the end.

So obviously I can't promise anything. But for those who can't attend - is there anything you want me to ask? Or report back on?

It will probably be drowned out by the millions of other questions. But I can try!

Thank you Twoset

So I wanted to express my appreciation for Twoset violin. I joined the fandom pretty late. Only after a few weeks of me starting to watch their content, they quitted. I was really sad because they had made me truly fall in love with classical music and I found them really funny. I even dreamed about meeting them in person one day. I didn't want to see them go, and I really wanted for it to be a joke. My friends were equally devastated as well. But I thought, it's their choice to quit and we can't change that. Recently I have seen so much negativity, not just on lingling40hrs and I just wanted to say: no hate please. We can't change their choice, they have reasons. So please, appreciate everything they've done for us. They worked so hard from 2013 until now, and they are doing their best with these special farewell videos. I am genuinly excited to see what comes next and for now I am still watching Twoset and learning their inside jokes and enjoying the humour. Thank you :)

Do any of you guys also feel angry?

I've been a long-time Twoset fan and I feel like they could've done this much better, they could've just said "We're rebranding" and left it at that, I'm okay with the archived videos, but why put us through 2 months of almost nothing. I've been watching their old videos on the archive and somehow, even though I've always liked them, I'm starting to get angry at them. just wanted to know if anyone feels the same. I'm do not condone harassment, and what is done is done, they can do what they want, but I'm just curious

It has been a rollercoaster, but do we think we can make this a sweeter goodbye?

Edit: context is their Instagram comment sections

Yes the whole thing has been an emotional rollercoaster. Yes they could have explained everything much better. But what's done is done.

Do we all think we could help make this farewell a little sweeter for them, instead of filled with so much anger? They made us laugh and helped us practice so long, and now that they are burnt out maybe we can turn the comments sections around to give them (and all of us) a happier ending with twoset.

Is it Just Me?

Is it just me or are we starting to obsess over TwoSet? I was talking to my dad again about my love for TwoSet Violin and he told me, "Why do you keep talking about them? It's not like they are dying and will not kill you if you miss a new release of their songs." I just kind of wondered if I was obsessing over them. I feel like many people on this Reddit are obsessing over them but do not realize they are doing it like me. I understand that I do check everyday on their social media to see if they will announce anything out of the blue, like they did with their live stream but it's not like an obsession thing. I have been crying about them leaving and I bought most of their new merch to feel better and when I couldn't get their varsity jacket, I made my own. I've even been drawing them all over my papers at school. I know we are all going through a whole mental breakdown about them as a community but we do need to check if we are obsessing over them on accident. We all love TwoSet Violin but again, they have their own lives and they deserve what's best for them. Love y'all!

Tchaikovsky (B²TSM) - 'Love Like That'

This is my first time creating a post, so I apologize for all my mistakes in advance.

I just have a feeling that this Tchaikovsky solo might be a duet. I know I might be completely wrong. I am just posting what i have in my mind, please don't take this too seriously. I just had this thought in my mind, especially after watching the teaser. So, i decided to make this post.

It’s been 5 or 6 years since I first started watching TSV. Felt like a part of me left when they said goodbye too.

I’ve been watching their B2TSM videos and old ones, and it reminded me that I was only a little high school brat when I searched for funny classical music channels on YouTube on a whim one day, then stumbled upon their channel and never stopped watching their videos since. Their content saw me through my high school years and first three years in uni. It felt like waking up from a dream: I’m no longer the same kid, they’re in their thirties. Time has gone in the blink of an eye, and it’s only going to go faster. We’ve all grown up so much, I’m sure they have too.

Thank you for all these years, Brett and Eddy (and to everyone who played a role in the channel). Thank you for sharing your love for classical music to all of us. Thank you for helping me rediscover the true beauty of music. Thank you for introducing me to this amazing subreddit which I’ll love forever. And finally, thank you to everyone in this community who has supported one another through highs and lows. I really hope we will continue to.

The universe has everything sorted; we will cross paths again if we are meant to. And no matter if we do or not, we will keep practising, we will keep this community alive, and we will love classical music forever.

Whew, suddenly felt sentimental and typed all that stuff! Thanks to everyone who read this.

Brett and Eddy appreciation thread - what has Twoset done for/meant to you?

Since twoset posted their ‘last post as twoset’ instagram, there have been a lot of different reactions but I think they all (maybe even especially the more angry/frustrated emotions that have been coming out) essentially stem from twoset having meant something very special to us, and people now feeling a loss of something that was pretty amazing

So I thought it might be quite nice to have a whole thread of folks saying what twoset has meant to them, moments they’ve enjoyed, favourite videos, what they’d like Brett and Eddy to know etc etc. So please share yours!

For me, I was a classical pianist in my youth, went to music school and briefly worked as a musician but then life went sideways and I ended up piano-less and pretty lost in general after leaving a bad marriage. My 20s and 30s were completely off the rails, but then I started watching twoset in maybe 2018 and really enjoyed their content. I gradually realised how much I missed music and being a musician. In early 2020 (just before Covid hit my country) I bought a cheap old piano and in 2021 I started studying again. Now I’m playing every day and just about to record a big piece I never thought I’d play. I feel like my life has direction again (and I’m slowly sorting myself out in other areas as a result). I feel like twoset content was absolutely the springboard for me to start studying again and I feel so grateful to them for that.

My absolute favourite video has to be Brett’s 4 mil Mendelssohn but close second is the one where their tone deaf friend (Ivo?) tries to sing classical music to them.

Thank you Brett and Eddy for everything you’ve done for the world of classical music, and for me personally! You’ve done your bit and I really respect your decision to move on to whatever comes next - good luck!

Your turn…🎶

Maybe once this is all said and done, we just continue being LingLing Wannabes without being associated with them.

Maybe once they're done with their final releases, we can just continue making memes and jokes about this stuff without needing to mention TwoSet.

Maybe we can post compositions, covers, challenges etc. by ourselves without hoping to be on a YouTube Compilation.

Maybe we can post the most ridiculous music related events and stories without hoping that maybe one of them might see.

It's clear they're saying good bye, but I don't think we should also say good bye to the 'inTerEstiNg' and 'If you can play it slow, you can play it fast' inside jokes and whatnot.

Let's just use this subreddit as a nonserious, classical/any musician's hangout and post and interact with each other like we're just a bunch of people inside a concert hall trying to deal with an unventilated room.

Won't miss the livestream for the world

I won't miss it for the world!!

Actually my emotions have gone on a roller coaster since their resignation notice in mid October. Thought they would disappear forever. Then after 7 weeks, a teaser, thought they were coming back. Then the NYT article, thought the 6 MVs would be their final goodbye with no closure. Then last night, the announcement of the much craved for livestream.....At least finally they are willing to talk.

After all that has happened, I only want to see them for the last or one more time. Don't want to expect much, just seeing them would be so nice. Certainly won't want another prank, shock, heartbreak or heart attack......

Vibrato courses in Udemy - and other paid online sources

I read in Udemy review that many are satisfied with vibration courses in Udemy. Does anyone have experience in taking a vibrato violin course in Udemy, or from other online sources?

How is it working and in what way is it more effective for you, compared to free youtube sources?

Liberation of the Soul is really a bop and great song ☺️😊

And it is also perfect for Beethoven's birth anniversary on December 16 🥰 (according to my own opinion 😀)
