Guess the Composer By Their First Composition

_______________________________________

Is Brett’s first documented composition his lofi or are there earlier pieces that hint at the brilliance to come?

[juliee]

Shostakovich stays true to the stereotype. Out of all the composer kids' pieces out there, his is already the most depressed. Nothing more in character for him than starting his career with a funeral march. The first of a long line of pieces inspired by horrible historical events.

I can't be the only one who thought Beethoven's first composition sounded just a little bit similar to moonlight sonata's third movement

[InXLsisDeo]

The 11 year old Mendelssohn was freaking unbelievably mature and in full command of compositional techniques. That piece was insane. It sounds like Beethoven at 25.

“Why did Dvořák write a polka?” Well, polka is a Czech dance...

Zdravím Čechy!

You should do a version with their last piece. Some composers changed drastically in their lifetime, like Beethoven's final piano sonata with an early rag time trend.

Also Liszt's first composition sounds EXACTLY like the Czerny dexterity exercises.

Tchaikovsky : Known for using minor scales and somewhat sad mysterious melodies .
His first composition : Joyful, happy cheerful

I think we should learn by now that Mr Brett needs to trust his gut

[leonnget]

Did you know that mendelssohn could also paint incredible watercolors?? And also, he had skills for literature writing, because at age 14, his translation of the play Andria by Terence was published (it was the first one in german), and is still used today as a reference! translation :o And I forgot to mention that he met Goethe at age 12, who was already impressed by the young boy's musical abilities, I mean, praised by Goethe isn't really common I guess 😅

I correctly guessed Bach because of the organ 😂

Its amazing how 5 year old Mozart is still so recognizable.

[roneven]

Y'all missed the fact Chopin has written this piece when he was seven. What the hell.

Fun fact about the Diabelli variations: The blurb at 7:09 says Diabelli invited a number of composers (including Schubert and Czerny) to "contribute one variation each", but Diabelli actually had to publish Beethoven's contribution separately as Beethoven wrote 33 variations by himself. Beethoven's Diabelli Variations are considered to rival Bach's Goldberg Variations as the greatest set of variations for piano ever composed.

I'm an Indian classical musician and i got introduced to Western classical through your videos, thank you

[amclp]

I'm sure TwoSet doesn't mind me taking a break from PRACTICE to watch this video

[gabrielsia]

These types of videos where the audience can guess along with them are my favourite

[needanap]

I have an orchestra audition in half an hour thanks twoset for giving me a chill video to watch and calm my nerves!

Edit: I played the third movement of Vivaldis Concerto in A minor for violin (adapted for viola) and I got into the orchestra!

[Modusiticate]

the 5-year old mozart one isn't that surprising, autism has the potential to do some crazy things

[savannah]

The look of pure shock on Eddy’s face whenever someone started singing 😂😂

[Jayspider]

Unfortunate how even at a young age, Shostakovich had to deal with depression because of lives lost😔😔. I do respect him for always being honest in his works.
