  • Hello everyone.

  • So we recently came across a video clip of a young prodigy

  • who can apparently compose piano sonata in under...

  • One.

  • Minute.

  • W H O A

  • Let's see if it's true or...

  • FAKE NEWS.

  • So, I'm going to pick 4 notes from this hat.

  • Or you can pick 4 notes.

  • - I'll pick them. - Yes, yes, yes.

  • She has such intense eyes.

  • It's a JOKE!

  • And then, I'm going to improvise a piece based on them.

  • All right.

  • Now, we didn't work out anything...

  • ...by arrangement earlier.

  • They really just needed a pink...

  • - Yeah. - Shiny blue...

  • Purple whatever, shiny hat.

  • We didn't work anything out per arrangement,

  • but we did prepare a shiny hat.

  • Yeah.

  • Oh.

  • Interesting.

  • *high-pitched voice* Interesting.

  • *high-pitched voice* Interesting.

  • *both laughs* No we should stop this.

  • Alright, I was just...it was a joke, oh..

  • - It's a joke, guys. - Oh no.

  • The game is to refrain from making sarcastic,

  • almost offensive comments.

  • Yeah.

  • - So I'll just think about it for a few seconds. - Oh, please yes.

  • *narration* For me the most important thing in music

  • is the melodies.

  • It's not if it has to be everything very complex and very serious,

  • but actually, so that people actually want to listen to it

  • and enjoy it.

  • I wonder what, um...

  • Debussy thinks about that.

  • Hmm.

  • You know what I was thinking?

  • There's video cuts and there's no timer.

  • Maybe she sat there for three minutes and not one minute,

  • and they cut it up to one

  • Three hours.

  • Whoa. *clicks tongue*

  • But.

  • It's on "60 Minutes", so it must be completely accurate.

  • Sometimes when I get the melodies,

  • I hear them just sung or I hear a melody for orchestra.

  • But then actually sitting down and developing the melodies,

  • and that's really the difficult part,

  • having to tell a real story with the music.

  • Wait a second. The first note.

  • - I want to see...I want them to show me the... - B flat?

  • I have a feeling it was a B natural.

  • (Both) It was a B natural!!!!

  • - Turned into a B-flat!!! - Oh!!!

  • - Still fake news. - It's a B natural.

  • It's a B natural.

  • Why would she play a B-flat?

  • She was so prodigy that she changed the note.

  • Interesting.

  • No, this is not a hate video, guys.

  • - Maybe I'm just jealous. That's why. I'm just jealous. - Keep going? Yeah.

  • *laughs*

  • That's pretty...crazy.

  • Is this rondeau form?

  • Or theme and variations?

  • Well that's actually pretty amazing though.

  • - If she composed that in under a minute. - Mmm.

  • Oh!!!

  • Oh my god.

  • - That's—that's talent, man. - Harmonic progression.

  • - Theme and variations! - Second subject, second subject.

  • - It's like structured to, uh, thing as well. - Yeah.

  • - She can see this. - That is the most amazing thing.

  • She's composing with structure.

  • Hm-hmm.

  • - And then back to... - It's no, it's not...

  • It's improvised but it's not improvised.

  • - Yeah, it sounds like a real composition, - it's improvised...yeah.

  • - you know, doesn't sound like improvisation. - Yeah.

  • - She's improvising. - But she didn't improvise, she composed

  • No do you think she improvised?

  • - I think she composed in her head in the structure. - In?

  • And then put the notes in different variations.

  • Yeah, so she must have done half the composition in her head...

  • - In that one minute. - Yup. Already.

  • Whoa.

  • (Both) Interesting.

  • Ohhh.

  • It is rondeau form. This is C now.

  • Section C.

  • I read her mind.

  • Dude, it's a—frickingmodulated! To E Flat ma... *sigh*

  • Maybe I am the composer.

  • Whoa!

  • B flat ma... *sigh*

  • (Both) Ohhh!

  • Oh!

  • Theme and variations, wonderful. *laughs*

  • Ohhh!

  • Oh.

  • Wow.

  • It's like...developing as well.

  • You would've got an A+ but...

  • It's a B natural not a B flat.

  • But TwoSet, it's not like you can do any better,

  • you're just jealous of the prodigy!

  • Bring it on.

  • Who said we couldn't do it better.

  • We'll show you right now. *clap*

  • *clap* Bring it on, it's time.

  • What's gonna happen is Brett's gonna pick four notes.

  • This hasn't been previously arranged.

  • - He's gonna compose within one minute. - Hm-hmm.

  • He's on the violin and after which I'm gonna do the same,

  • but on the piano.

  • And then we're gonna do, uh,

  • Sonata for Piano and Violin afterwards.

  • Let's get it!

  • Uhh. A. *shriek*

  • C. *low-pitched screech*

  • F. *oooh*

  • *snickering* A sharp. *laughs*

  • Good luck. *wry laughter*

  • - Have we started? - Yeah.

  • Am I supposed to play now?

  • No, you're composing.

  • Oh. *laughs*

  • Two, one.

  • *timer goes off*

  • *plays timer music*

  • Wrong scale.

  • Right scale!

  • I can't.

  • That was pretty cool.

  • I rate it a...

  • I N T E R E S T I N G

  • ...out of 10. *laughs*

  • - Alright. - Please draw.

  • - I'm actually gonna try. - Okay.

  • *sigh* *laughs*

  • I N T E R E S T I N G

  • - Oh what the hell... - *laughs* That's so messed up.

  • Alright here we go. One minute begins right...now.

  • Three, two, one.

  • It's the worst G sharp! *laughs*

  • *plays recording by accident*

  • *laughs*

  • - Is that the chord? - Yeah.

  • It's alright I can channel prodigy to you.

  • Ling Ling!

  • Ling Ling!

  • Ling Ling.

  • Ling Ling!

  • I'm sorry Alma.

  • - I'm sorry for— - I'm sorry. You are a true genius.

  • I take back all my "interesting"s.

  • - No, no no, no, no! Let me try again! I refuse... - Okay.

  • But she changed one of the notes.

  • - So you can change one note. - So I'm gonna change one note.

  • - Yeah, you can change the G sharp. *laughs* - Get rid that G sharp!

  • Alright, so we're good?

  • - Yup, G Sharp turns to, uh...what? A? - Up a semitone.

  • Okay, done.

  • *clap*

  • *clap*

  • Second subject!

  • Alright.

  • Ling Ling!

  • UHH!!!

  • Now let's do one, where we combine our forces.

  • Because...

  • The true height of composition is to be able to...

  • Read each other.

  • Compose telepathically.

  • *excited shrieking*

  • Is this all what we aspire to be?!

  • - So one each? - Yeah.

  • Hai-ya!!!

  • B, for Brett!

  • I get...

  • - Ohh, no. - E! For...

  • Aw that's alright, E!

  • - Okay— - EDDY!

  • OHH OHHHHHHH!!!! *laughs*

  • It's meant to be! *laughs*

  • Alright, your turn again. *laughs*

  • Oh not a sharp or a flat. Not a sharp or a flat.

  • Just give me a...urgh!

  • G!!!

  • Ooh, that's pretty good!

  • - E minor. - Damn, I like E minor.

  • Don't screw this up, Eddy, don't screw this up!

  • - Oh no. - Oh. F.

  • Oh no...

  • This is just as bad as a flat.

  • Dude, you, you...

  • F'd it man. *laughs*

  • Let me see. Yeah, started.

  • Are we supposed to be discussing this or just telepathic?

  • Prodigies don't discuss.

  • Three, two, one.

  • Okay, here we go.

  • Uhhh!

  • Interesting!

  • Please subscribe, like.

  • That was actually pretty good.
