Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Hey, how's it going? Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin. Today we have another sight-reading video, but with an interesting twist to it. We will be sight-reading music, but only off the original manuscript. The O.G. This is handwritten stuff. It's scribbly... - We're probably gonna go blind with this video. - I know. - I'm gonna need better glasses. - We've all forgotten how lucky we are to have... - Clean, printed manuscript in this day and age. - Printers. Dude, they had scribes to rewrite - the same part for every violin person. - Oh god... So every note we play right... Accent the like button. - Ding, ding, ding. All right, let's go. - All right, let's go. What is this? Level one. - Nielsen violin ro - Nielson? - Bro... Why are the staves going backwards? Yeah, it's upside - It's going backwards. All right, so we haven't learned or practiced or even looked at any of these pieces. Oh, man... - Yeah. I know. - This is already hurting my eyes. It's like little ants on the screen. Dude, that note is... Dude... Dude, that G. Ah! Dude, that looked like a B. - All right, your turn. - Hahaha! Oh! Ha, ha, ha! Oh, you're so screwed. I feel like an old man, like... Dude, it's so small. Did they even have glasses back then? Why am I doing that? Put it on. Oh! Ah... Woah, dynamics. I like that. Oh, ****. I played the wrong note. - Manuscripts have errors! - Yeah, that's - Is that an error? It must be, that doesn't make sense. Can you imagine conducting an orchestra back then with all the typos? It's like not having spell check for your... - Yeah, yeah. For your essays and stuff. - Composition. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, by the way, restock. This sold out in like two days. Check it out. All right, level two, Handel Music for the Royal Fireworks. This is level 2 not in the sense that the music is harder... - But the manuscript is even messier. - It's messy. It's messier. Yeah, I think that's right. Oh! Ah! - Yeah. I don't even know. - Oh, okay. But you made it though. I don't know what note that is. That looks like the ink just blotted. - Oh, that one, yeah. - Like, what is that? It's a mystery. Detectives, what is that? Imagine being like those manuscript people. - And every copy, they might copy the wrong thing. - Trying to figure - That would be sacrilegious. Ding, ding! Your turn. Okay, who is this? Tartini. F sharp, why is there two F sharps? - Don't worry. I won't forget the sharps now. - Oh man. My eyes. Sorry, I need a break. Oi! Oh no, that's right. My bad. My bad, my bad, my bad. It does sound weird. What the ****? Tartini, you high? He's been smoking too much devil's trills. Bro... Oh. Oh, come on. That's why we don't play the Tartini concertos. - Oh!!! - Oh!!! Brahms Piano Trio. I had fun with that one. Dude, you can't see, it's faded. Am I in the shot? Da~ Da, da~ Da, da~ I don't know this. It's really epic. Da, da~ Da, da, da, da, da~ Dude, I think... Is that right? Did I play it right? Da, da, da - I don't know, maybe not. Da, da, da~ Yeah. Da, da, da, da, da, da~ Whoa. Oh, that's the piano part. No! Nah... - I don't even know if I'm playing right or wrong. - Can you imagine trying to read the music back in the days? And that's why you memorize music, guys. Actually, aside from Eddy's sight-reading, this is a great piece, you should check it out. You ready? Good luck. Good luck. Da, da, da~ Da~ Da, da~ Oh, B natural! Ooo! You didn't get me there. - Oh! - Two, three... Oh, I played the piano part. I had to move my head. Like, I had to do this. - Yeah. - I couldn't see it. Dude, in the camera, you don't even see your face. You just see your head like this. Well, have fun with... Chopin Ballade No.1 arranged by Ysaye. Oh, I know this. That's not fair. You know it. - No! - That's why you memorize pieces by ear! Dude, what the hell? Oh, I think I know this one. Da, da, da, da~ Bom, bom. Bom, bom. Oh my god, are you ready? I hate reading ledger lines when it's manuscript. - The spacing is different. - And the gap gets smaller and smaller. Yeah. Oh, I know this one too. Oh! Ah. You know this, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't play it. Nice. Oh, imagine doing the second violin part right now. Oh, you got it. I know this one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I haven't played it though. - Yeah. - But I know it. Guys, we want to make a chamber quartet, but we have no friends. - Help. - Yeah, help. Help. Oh, violin concerto, dude, I played this. Really? No. 2? No, wait, I take that back. - I forgot he had more than one concerto. 3, 3. - I think we played No. 3, right? But this actually looks not too bad. Oh, it goes to here? Da~ Dude... At least Saint-Saens wrote it cleanly. - Yeah, Saint-Saens, thank you. - Thank you. Saints-Saens, oui, oui. Thank you, Saint-Saens. Thank you, Saint-Saens. Dude, it's not even - This level is like... Oh, so nice. Dude... Woah. Okay, ledger lines. Oh! - Dude... - Practiced my scales! Practice! Like, this is harder as a piece but easier to read. Oh! Dude, Schumann Fantasy for - Dude, he's in a fantasy. Schumann, do you think this is readable? Ooo. Is it telling me B natural? I thought it was a sharp. Is that a sharp? Dude, this is the worst. How do I even figure that out? It's like doctor's signature. Maybe they can read it. You know how doctors can read - each other's prescriptions? - Yeah, they can. It's like, "oh, that's a panadol." It's like literally one line. Yeah, it's like... Schumann is actually a doctor. That's why he died from syphilis. Did he die from syphilis? - They all kind of died from syphilis. - I don't know. I just know his wife ran away for Brahms. Ah! - Ah! - That's what happens when you don't write music clearer. All right, guys, I think this is it. Now you guys know what original manuscript looks like. We have a new appreciation for music scripts that's written out clean. Yes, I need to rest my eyes now. I can't even see the accents. Can't even see you guys. Yeah. Oh, you know what I can't see? I can't see them practicing. All right, guys, please accent the like button. We hope you enjoy watching us shred and just... - Ding! Ding! - Yeah. Classical music has come a long way. Thank you, everyone. Ling Ling is all within us. See you guys next time. Interesting!
