Welcome to another distinguished and

i n t e r e s t i n g

episode of TwoSet Violin.

Today, we will be combining two of the most

historical and sophisticated

art forms.

Classical music,

with visual arts.

So basically, we've

- gathered a series of famous artworks. - Yeah.

And for each one, we are going to pair it up

with a choice of classical music

that we think pairs very well with this artwork.

For those of you...

...high IQ,

- Intellectual people. - ...artistic, cultured intellectuals,

you'll be able to enjoy both these masterpieces of art,

while listening to a masterpiece of art.

Dude, it's like masterpiece plus masterpiece.

This is our...

Before we get started, make sure to...

ding~

the subscribe button,

- and ding the accent button, - Ding~

- and accent the triangle. - Ding ding!

The first artwork we have is...

the famous...

"Lisa Mona."

By...

"Va Dinci."

I can imagine people that don't understand it,

they take it seriously.

"TwoSet..." - "Lisa Mona and Va Dinci!"

"Oh my god, you got it wrong!"

Apparently, the actual piece of art is very small.

- In the museum. - We've seen it!

- Nah, I haven't seen it. - Oh, I've seen it.

Oh wait, does it follow you?

- Apparently, the eyes follow you. - Yeah, they follow you, but it's...

It's kinda underwhelming.

No, no, not the artwork.

Like, I thought it was gonna be a really big artwork.

- Oh, yeah yeah yeah. - And I remember it's like,

everyone's like, "It's just around the corner!"

And you see people huddling.

And I'm like, "Oh my god!"

Turn around, it's like, "Where is it?"

- It's just this tiny... - And I can imagine the amount of tourists,

- like the sea of tourists. - Oh, it was packed, it was packed.

And I was like, "What is everyone...?"

"Oh my god, it's tiny!"

Wait, okay. Actually, first, I want some historical context.

Dude, that's 500, that's...

- That's over 500 years ago. - Holy moly.

"Mindblown."

Is Da Vinci... Yeah, he's Italian.

Alright. I got one.

Nah nah nah nah nah, that doesn't work.

Are you getting any ideas?

- Nah, this sounds like... - This is like, it sounds like you're in feudal age.

Yeah...!

It's got more of that...

- Female... - Yeah.

The Mona Lisa. Her face kind of suits it.

Like... Here, listen to it.

When I play it, she smiles.

Dude, that's creepy as ****!

Apparently, people were so obsessed with this painting.

Like...

Men were like, in love with her.

Yeah, I guess that was a look back in the days.

Imagine a monobrow!

- I don't know, it feels... This feels alright for me. - It feels nice.

- It's kinda elegant as well. - Yeah.

- Cool. Next. - Nice, next one.

By van...

"Cough."

Van Gogh.

Oh.

- Okay, now... - I like this one.

Now, okay, here we go.

In my mind, I'm already thinking either...

Impressionistic, 'cause he's French.

Actually, I wouldn't say Impressionistic.

'Cause Impressionism is not so surreal, like, um...

Sorry if I'm not using official art...

...adjectives.

Dude, I just, I like the artwork.

- Yeah, it's really nice. - The more I look at it, the more I like it.

It's just all those lines. Whatever, dude I think,

- whatever the technique is. - How much do you think it is worth?

Probably...

200 million.

Dude, that's ten Strads.

For a painting.

- You can't even play on the paint. I guess you can... - You can't even play!

- You get to look at it. - I guess you can look at it.

Every day you walk into your room, it's like...

♪ Starry, starry night ♪

What is... How do you protect it?

- What if a fire goes off? - Yeah, that's what I thought.

Like an earthquake happens.

It's like, or someone just rips it.

Alright, I reckon...

Alright, let's see. Van Gogh...

I like the Debussy Violin Sonata.

Debussy Violin Sonata.

- Felt a bit slow. - It's... Yeah.

It needs to be something like, more shimmery.

I'm actually more impressed that the violin and the

- woodwinds are so in tune. - Yeah yeah yeah...!

It's so in tune.

I liked it, though.

It worked. I think it's better than the Debussy.

- Let me see. - But something still feels missing.

- We're missing something, right? - Um...

- Ooh. - Oh!

This might be it!

- Yeahh! That suits really well. - I think so. I think we found the one.

- So what was that? - I think this is...

Yeah. That one's good.

- Alright, next one. - Yeah, that's the one. Next one.

- This took way too long. - Yeah.

- We saw this, in Norway! - Yeah!

- We ran, like... - In the museum.

The museum was about to close in like,

- 15 minutes or something. - Yeah.

And we're like, "Can we just go see it?"

- They're like, "Okay, just straight to the left." - Yeah.

And the dude in Norway gave us a discount.

- Yeah. - That was nice.

I just hear the...

Oh, the...

- That film music, the Psycho right? - Yeah.

(both) Yeah.

- Yeah. - AHHHHH!!

- Nah, that's it. - That's it, right?

(both) I think so.

- I think so. - Yeah.

Next.

- I'm feeling Bach. - Okay.

Just because Bach was very religious.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.

Dude, yeah.

Oh, that's epic.

Oh, that's... Yeah. It's just...

The lights in the back.

There's discussion going on, the Last Supper.

- Oh, I'm getting goosebumps looking at that. - Yeah, that's good.

(both) Yeah...

Guys, if you haven't checked out Bach "Bass" in B Minor,

- just look at this painting. - Dude...

- And listen to it. - This will change.

All right. Next.

Girl with the Flaxen Hair.

- I thought that. - Yeah!

But I actually don't think it would work.

- No, 'cause the background is black. - Yeah.

That's why it won't work.

Girl with the Flaxen Hair is too...

- Outdoor, dreamy. - Yeah.

- And the flowers, and the... - Yeah.

Like a painting with grass and blue sky.

Girl with a Pearl Earring. What's the context of this?

This is so educational.

It's the Dutch Mona Lisa.

There needs to be some darkness to it.

This is hard.

- This one's hard! - This is really hard.

- 'Cause she's got this, this... - Dammit.

This girl has two sides of the coin.

Why is this girl so complicated?!

Debussy Reverie.

Let's try this.

Ooh.

- I like this one. Yeah. It's a lot better. - Oh, you reckon?

- That's my favorite one so far. - Because the music kinda...

Pulls you in, it's like...

- Yeah, it's just like she's pulling you in. - Yeah, she's like,

"Come here."

"Do you want to know who I am?"

"Are you sure you want to know who I am?"

- Oooh, I like that! I like that! - Yeah, it's like thinking...

- I think this is it. - Yeah, this is it.

- Yeah! - Mmmm...

Dude, Debussy is so good!

Ohh, Debussy!

I want Debussy!!

Dude, I like this painting.

- Yeah. - I want it. How much do you think it is?

I reckon 19 million.

I reckon 75 million.

Oh, 10 million.

Okay, we were overshoot.

- But that's still a lot of money. - Dude, that Van Gogh is really...

...high then.

Damn.

Dude, 10 million is still ridiculous!

That's a freaking Strad.

Next!

This one's not a painting. It's a sculpture!

Why that...?

Dude, he's just thinking.

That is not think—

- Is that what thinking is like for you bro?? - Yeah, dun dun...

What does thinking sound like for me?

So what music is now?

Just silence.

John Cage.

John Cage, 4'33".

Yeah!

Nah.

We need something.

A fugue!

Yeah! A fugue, a fugue.

- The most cerebral type of thing you can... - Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, of course. - Yeah, I think a fugue.

- There's multiple things. - Yeah.

Let's try...

It sounds like an anime, Conan is like....

Eddy: Yeah...!

Yeah, that one.

That hits.

Whoa.

- This needs to look like... - It's just spazz.

What's that modern music that's just...

I don't know what that is.

- Do you guys know what that was? - I mean, every single—

I don't know.

Wait, how much do you think this is worth?

- What is this picture called? - Let's go "No. 5 worth."

140 million!!

And this was in 2006!

American. What's an American composer?

This is hard, this one's hard.

This one just sounds like...

- Is there any piece of music where it's just...? - So...

- Every instrument just starts playing randomly. - Frantic. George Crumb.

You know what it is?

It needs, um...

...wind instruments as well.

I think it needs all timbres.

- Dude, I'm out of ideas. - Yeah, I'm trying to think.

This has to be it.

Come on Bartók, pull through.

I think this is my closest so far.

I mean...

- I think it's... Yeah. - It's just like, the kind of...

- Infinite strands, like which line are you following? - There's swirling.

Yeah. It just needs a bit more intensity somewhere.

Do let us know in the comments.

What you think.

Moving on.

This is the Venus, right?

She's Venus, right?

Mars, Holst?

Venus, from Holst.

I feel like it works, but not in the original intention.

It's like a re-interpretation of the...

Yeah, the violin solo seemed to me like

- Brett: that woman in the middle. - Eddy: Yeah.

Brett: It's so different.

Eddy: I kinda like it.

- I feel like there's all those people there as well. - Yeahh...

- The multiple lines, they're like... - Yeah yeah yeah...

♪ I'm here ♪

- I like it. I like it. - Yeah. Done.

Nice one!

Time.

- But like, messed up time. - Tick.

This has got to be post 20th century.

Yeah!

(both) I like it!
