My six favourite things from this video 1. Hilary spins the wheel slowly and elegantly, Eddy just spins it like a typical person and Brett positively attacks the wheel 2. Brett playing Joy with depression/no defining emotion 3. Eddy’s black suit just disappearing into the background 4. Freezing hands. I can’t relate, it’s summer all year round where I live, but cold hands do not seem like much fun especially if you do indeed need to play violin 5. Eddy’s Surprise expressions were so funny and Hilary’s laughing just made me crack up as well 6. “I thought I knew, but now I don’t know anymore.” -Eddy 2022

[@auricia201]

3. Eddy is just a floating head and pair of hands 😅

I will not ever tire of saying this: Brett playing any excerpt of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto will never fail to make my day. The fact that "Love" was the emotion he got with it is just the cherry on top. And he played it so gorgeously! I wish he didn't have to stop playing.

[@ammi686]

Yeah, I know! He played it so extremely beautifully ❤ You can always see, even through his facial expressions, that Tchaikovsky surely is one of Brett's favourite ❤ And he has so lovely, warm and soft tone!

[@julia_btfl]

That's what I want to say too! Brett played that part beautifully ✨

[@nadia-singpiano]

Eddy was playing actually an emotion of fear, like the feeling in the heart, how the music sounds, something in the direction of horror movies, and Brett and Hilary were expecting Eddy to sound like a musician who has stage fright

[@blixten2928]

I agree. Also, he wasn't using his face -- nor was Brett -- which makes their musical emoting so much more impressive!

[@bethriedel2731]

This is great! I give my piano students a pack of emoji cards. They pick one and play an exercise, scale, or section of a piece with that feeling. This really helps them to develop playing with heartfelt expression. There is nothing worse than mechanical, robotic, soulless music. It also helps them discover the technique that is connected to the sound.

[@wakingtheworld]

Have you heard of Lionel Yu? He did a vid doing this using the tune 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. Wot fun that was. (I also recently watched him play at The Barbican Centre in London). Yep, nothing worse than robotic, soulless music. The odd mistake can be forgiven for expression and musicality. [I'm learning violin btw]

[@stunlord]

yeah I loved it too

[@TheAskald]

It's very interesting for the video, but it would be a disaster of an interpretation with an orchestra haha, you can't do that on Brahms entrance. It's meant to be dramatic and fierce during this moment, there's a lot of room left for interpretation but in a certain predefined perimeter.

Closer to the rules they set perhaps, but not nearly as funny! 🤣 In all seriousness though, I’ve been a violinist for 45 years, and have gotten some stellar tips from watching (& rewatching) this video. Most excellent way to learn - how to make the sound first, then the face straightening can come later.

Twoset is bringing back the legends! Chloe, Ray, and Hilary once again! I am fortunate to have been on this journey for 5 whole years. Can't wait for Mendelsohn.

[@zzing8496]

Brett's interpretation of love on the Tchaikovsky piece was brilliant! I don't know what techniques he used, but I could feel the love in the playing.

[@oxoelfoxo]

This is kinda difficult because I think the emotion is written into the piece itself and if trying to convey a different one, they have to use facial expression or body language if they don't change up tempo or some other aspect of the playing. Or if they're deadpan (which they should be!) they'd have to have a wide repertoire and choose some part of a piece that already conveys the given emotion for it to be obvious.

[@mrd8916]

3:30 Brett should’ve played the left pizz part. I’ve never seen him play with more joy 🤣

[@oscargill423]

Some people may say they're cheating with their facial expressions (a surprising lack in these comments though), but, in this case in particular, I think it just goes to show that playing music isn't just about the instrument; facial expression and body movement can add volumes to it. Even if certain people using violin for charades push that expression a bit for the sake of illegal clarity.
