[@thatTWOSETfan]

im in shock and my heart aches so bad right now. i don’t usually comment but i’ve been a twoset fan for more than 7 whole years and to see them suddenly private more than (more than 3/4) of their videos and delete their posts on other platforms scared the living crap out of me, and then to see their goodbye post is when i literally started crying. if they wish to go it’s their choice and everyone should respect that, but for me; this sudden choice is so startling because never in a million years have i thought they would out of nowhere go. twoset was the reason I started to love classical music again. i hated practicing and my teacher was overly strict which made me hate it even more, but after finding these two, i immediately loved practicing and thanks to them, have explored so many different styles and repertoires within the eras of classical music. because of them i got back into loving the piano, and i’ve now been competing and auditioning for many different competitions and receiving awards because of their influence on me as a person. without them i feel as if i would never be who i am today. i’m still in disbelief and shock that this is their goodbye to us and i will never ever stop loving them for changing my life and many others too. We will miss you both so much. best of luck and love from your fans (and we really hope this is a prank). best of luck to you guys ❤️

[@lucashamilton4674]

Way over 3/4 of the videos, there were over 1,000. Now there are only 29. It's like they hand picked videos to keep up. Maybe there's something about them that they left them.

[@stuckinentropy]

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!!! i woke up and checked instagram just to watch all my preteen years and early adolescence flash before my eyes. i had the honour of growing up with you guys and you were who made me fall back in love with violin and inspired me to pursue it as my career in the first place. it sounds so cheesy but your content genuinely accompanied me through so much. i remember waiting for lingling40hrs reddit videos every week and watching the 2M sibelius livestream in the middle of the night in my old apartment. me then would have never imagined that i'd still be alive playing violin now or that twoset would end so abruptly. i should have gone to the world tour when i had the chance. i really hope this is just some marketing scheme for some sort of rebrand??

[@wayneg216]

I don't think they really understood their audience, 4.34M subs and a good percentage of videos barely made 100K views. Now to delete all the videos many young musicians found comfort and inspiration in watching is a despicable act. Sadly I have found a number of charlatans in the classic music industry these last few years.

[@cloprk]

That's why I think something is wrong, if they were just quitting they wouldn't 1. Delete most of their old videos 2. Announce it on a post after a normal video not saying anything about it. 3. Not do a video about it 4. Tell people in such a short generic way, and give no reason for it.

[@chrysanthemum2885]

Dear twoset, if you guys are reading this, i have been watching your videos since your first world tour era. In fact, I saw your busking in queen st. when I was living in brisbane. I was rushing my way to adelide st when I saw a group of people playing violin, later I found that the people turned out to be you guys that I started to watch your videos ever since. You have been doing so well for the past 11 years and I can’t applaud you more. You guys more or less have changed the way people look at classical music in this generation, bringing a new representation that classical music can be fun, relatable, and entertaining. You have influenced and inspired a lot of people to get in touch deeper with classical music, as well as become a figure that a lot of young musicians can deeply connect with. The roasting videos and charades videos are always my favorite! I will always remember that iconic backdrop of the white wall with some touch of black lol. Thank you for all you have done and wish you all the best in whatever you do next! xo

Dear TwoSet, You might not know me, but I'd like to say that you've been a heavy inspiration for me and were the main reason why I took to violin after years of stopping. You rekindled my love for the instrument and classical music, and now I'm striving to minor in music. Through your videos, I also met and connected with the love of my life! We are hoping that future generations (including our children) would be able to watch each of your posts. You changed many peoples' lives with your content.

I may have to remake the "Never Miss a Day" video. I tell the kids they only need to practice on the days they eat. I do have my own teaching channel, which is under my name, Ardath Belzer. It's primarily for my students. I'm committed to teaching kids through the Philadelphia School District Program in groups who do not have access to private lessons. They can audition later for a program through Settlement Music School, Temple, or the Philadelphia Orchestra for private lessons. I teach the good basics to get them on their way. This commitment takes a great deal of time, so I loved finding other videos to help me achieve my goal of inspiring kids.

Thanks to 2 set,I finally learned some sociology, in the hard way, that parasocial heartbreak is a real heartbreak. It can hurt so deeply. For many years, time with 2set was like a fairy tale,too good to be true. They're like our Asian moms and big brothers . They care if we practice enough, lose our interests in classical music etc,etc. They share stories about music school and the orchestra. We even stuck together during the lockdown in the pandemic.... Just 2 weeks before your short goodbye announcement, I saw you at the talk in HKU. Then all of a sudden,you vanished into thin air, and so were most of the videos. I cannot think of a compelling reason why you can't do a proper farewell video. You have shared when either of you fell ill before. If some legal or personal issue is involved, I think you can still do a proper farewell video without touching on those issues. A proper closure is healthy to all. It would be lovely to be reminded of the core values of this channel: Stay passionate about classical music and keep practicing. Oh, I still feel so sad, a whole host of feelings actually....

That being said, I am in a state of utter confusion and sadness regarding your departure as a team, and I believe the same sentiments are shared by many of your other fans. Perhaps you owe no explanation to your fans regarding your sudden exit, however, as someone who has been watching your channel for several years, it feels a sense of emptiness and distaste with no closure, particularly after the majority of the videos also became inaccessible.

The thing I love and respect about Bach the most was that he always stayed true to himself. He didn't mindlessly follow fashion, he had a passion, a drive and he chased it relentlessly. Also that for him tonality, simplicity and structure weren't limiting, but limitless. He blows my mind every time I listen to one of his pieces. Kinda like Rembrandt but in music.

[@joelribeiro5863]

For how great Bach is, he was almost completely forgotten. It was Mendelssohn who revived the public knowledge of Bach with the Brandenburg Concertos and the Mass in B minor. I guess that shows the power of the Classical trend. It took a romantic to rediscover this genius of a composer. By the way, the Passions are some of the best music ever written. It's a great thing to listen to them during the Passover hollidays..

[@dialecticsjunkie7653]

I think that's *somewhat* exaggerated. All the great classical era composers were fans of JS Bach even if they were more influenced by his sons. Mozart and Beethoven both chose to incorporate complex fugues in their late work as a direct response to studying more of JS. It's more accurate to say that before Mendelssohn, JS Bach was not widely known by the lay public but that professional composers always held him in high esteem and he was well known by insiders.

[@joelribeiro5863]

@@dialecticsjunkie7653 That's what I meant with "public knowledge of Bach". Evidently his works were studied by composers, but hardly ever played to the public. But thanks for the reiteration.

[@InXLsisDeo]

@@dialecticsjunkie7653 You're right, but what is also important to note is most of his music was unpublished. Very little of his music was known to Beethoven or even Mozart. Basically only the Well tempered Clavier and a couple of other pieces were known to them. The Passions, the Mass in B minor, the Brandenburg concertos, and hundreds of other pieces were forgotten. I'm not even sure the violin and cello suites were known to Mozart. Note that Beethoven also held in very high esteem Haendel. Obviously he had had access to more music by Haendel than by Bach.

Hi there gentlemen, in response to your community news. All the very best with projects and adventures you want to explore as musicians individually and together (if you come back to play together?) Thank you for the memories, thanks for the good times you have shared with us across the globe. ❤🎉

Thanks for the shoutout man! Appreciate your work

If you haven’t heard bach’s organ work, you haven’t got to truly know what his personality is. He is 100% a metalhead, can be elegant in the morning, and traversing on his scary thoughts at night

[@chrishaake8126]

organ fugue in g minor is the shit!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Indeed. The organ works is where he really shows what he was capable of doing.

[@Soffity]

Toccata and fugue in Dm has to be one of his most famous organ works. Some of his chorale preludes are so beautiful they make my heart ache.

[@johnson941]

Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor is one of my favourite works ever. It definitely beats Toccata and Fugue in D Minor imo.

[@UltraBall23]

@@chrishaake8126yesss!!!! That and the C major organ sonata are my favorites! I was twerking in my lessons, haha!!!

don't delete your old videos, I watch them over and over again when I'm sad, you can't do this to us guys, I learnt so much because of you😭

I am currently learning the violin 1 part of the double concerto (already learned the violin 2 part a few years ago) as well as the Bach a minor violin concerto, so this video actually really gave me some insight in how I can interpret the music better! I've been here for 6 years and still love your work. Keep it up, you guys are amazing🫶💕

8:46 im a pianist, and i have never felt that i improved as rapidly when i am learning Bach fugues!! after sitting with them for a while though they became some of my favorite pieces to learn and play because of their interesting counterpoint!

[@JBitzz]

Are they being threatened? I don't understand this sudden closure of their channel and removal of videos. They inspired and brought back passion into classical music. They can't leave 😭

[@gorogorotodoro]

Yeah I was thinking the same too. Either they’re being sued for something, or they’re really sick.

[@nadeali1]

When you ask non classical musicians who their favorite composer is, they always say either Beethoven or Mozart. but when you ask a classical musician audience, the majority say Bach. He was GOAT

[@andredelacerdasantos4439]

Beethoven is great but even he knew Bach was on another level

[@cooldebt]

But eg. Pat Metheny and Sting love Bach and Ben Eunson is doing a series on Bach which aligns with what Brett and Eddy said @10:35

[@nickrr5234]

@@andredelacerdasantos4439 I think that it's pretty well established that Handel was Beethoven's favourite composer. There are several quotes from Beethoven to this effect.

[@andredelacerdasantos4439]

@nickrr5234 Handel was also the GOAT

[@peterbacik378]

@@nickrr5234Yes, he was, but Ludwig rediscovered Bach in his later years, and this restarted his commitment to composing after the bad period in the middle of the 1810s. Most of his later works are deeply influenced by Bach, for example, late piano sonatas including Hammerklavier with a great fugue in the last movement, Missa Solemnis (this one is greatly influenced by both Bach and Handel), late string quartets, and even in the Ninth Symphony, there are a few absolutely sublime fugues. So when Ludwig wanted to dive deeper into music, J.S. Bach was his guiding light.

bro this channel got me into classical music omg now i listen stockhausen

[@Angel83282]

I remember rewatching all of you guys videos a few years ago and never got bored, even started getting into the violin and sadly I see this is the end of a era but I hope to see more from you guys but neither the less thank you for making me laugh and smile every time I clicked on a video.

[@DarthLenaPlant]

This is why Bach gets called the "Father of Classical Music", indeed Please leave the videos up, there's so much educational content for everyone who's interested in learning about it and they're great fun too

[@MiekeVervloet]

I play the piano now for 20 years and Bach is still my favourite to play. My teacher never understood it, I was practically the only student that loved Bach as mostly all students hated him. But I understood the music. It's such a joy to play. Now each time I practice I still have to play at least one Bach piece.

[@CaitlynGo]

I loved this video! I would love to see more deep dives into composers

[@ChiChi-wz4tc]

Omg no why are all the videos deleted too, you guys are my happy sourceee I grew up watching these videos!! But honestly I am wishing both of them the best I am sure it was an extremely tough decision for them too.

[@JorelJames]

The end of an era. We will miss you, but we wish you luck on your futures! Thank you for the memories, watching this channel in 2019 is one of the things that got me interested in pursuing Classical music and now I attend the same music university that you did as a classical pianist. All the best!! 🎹🎻🎻💜

[@myrtillegrandesoreilles8275]

You say that baroque music isn't as popular as romantic music, but I have a very different experience: i live in the south of France in the country side, but there's still lots of music events happening all around. I've noticed in the last years that there's so much baroque. So many baroque only concerts, baroque choirs and ensembles that pop up, never have I ever heard as much harpsichord, viola da Gamba, recorder, organ playing as in the last few years. Many musicians I know simply prefer baroque music over any other music. I brought this up with a friend, and they said "it's normal: in this society of uncertainty and stress, baroque music has the ability to calm and bring peace to our souls" and who knows, I won't underestimate the power of music! So maybe I'm biased, but I feel like baroque music is everywhere, to the point where I really miss performing romantic and modern music actually :)

[@oxoelfoxo]

really?! wish that was true where i live. it's mostly classical/romantic here

[@myrtillegrandesoreilles8275]

@@oxoelfoxo where's "here"? Just come to the southwest of France haha ;)

[@mariacaswell7143]

Yes, the HIP movement made baroque music more fun and appealing. Europe is blessed with many wonderful HIP performers.

[@scose]

its happening in instrumental electronic music too, calming styles like liquid dnb are big. the real world is stressful enough, we want music to give us an escape rather than remind us

[@CopShowGuy]

Baroque to early Classical/Gallant music ranks as my favorite type of music.
