I N T E R E S T I N G

episode of TwoSet Violin.

Today we will be reviewing...

That's very...

I N T E R E S T I N G ! ! !

A lot of people on the internet pointed out that certain

very famous and iconic soundtracks have been...

..."inspired"...

...almost copied,

so we thought we'd go through some of these claims.

Our ears should speak for itself.

But make sure to stick around to the end of this video,

because the whole reason we're doing this video

is our friend sent a clip that sounded

insanely like a very well-known classical piece

- that no one has talked about yet. - Oh...!

Make sure to stick around, and of course,

accent the like button,

legato the subscribe button.

Do it!

The first one is of course,

John Williams and Gustav Holst.

Holst composed The Planets,

and John Williams, Star Wars.

(both) Hmm...!

Star Wars and The Planets!

Isn't Star Wars about a lot of planets as well?

(both) Hmm!!!

Here's a part from the Star Wars soundtrack,

let's listen to it first.

I thought that was Holst.

Yeah!

- I can hear the similarity with Mars. - Similarity.

- The chords, right? - Yeah!

The chords and the uh...

...augmented fourth interval.

Dude, that's so obvious.

- I haven't heard this, I'm just shocked at how close it is. - Yeah...

Okay, sorry 'cause I..we...I...yeah.

- 'Cause we already know this piece, we played it. - Yeah.

Let us listen to the Mars,

- and then we can all collectively decide. - Okay, okay, my ears are here now.

I N T E R E S T I N G ! ! !

Alright, so,

- already, the fluttering string... - Strings...

- With the tense...build up. - It sounds the same.

Just changed a few notes.

It's like the exact same chords,

- it's even the same key! - Dude, it's exactly the same!

It's the exact same key.

- They didn't even bother to change... - D flat, G!

The only difference was...

Star Wars added like a random chord before...

In-between the semiquavers.

That one.

Yeah.

- It just added the... - Dude, was it like...

Was that to dodge copyright?

YouTube algorithm!

Don't see us!

By the way guys, on that note,

this video's gonna get copystriked, so...

Check out TwoSet Apparel!

Support us.

That's ironic.

We're gonna get copystriked by the copiers.

Oh, we are!

"We...we copy strike on behalf of Holst."

Send the money to Holst!

Next one, again!

John Williams.

What's up?

- Alright, so that's the famous...theme. - Yeah, we all know that.

No way!

No way!

Korngold did it already!

- I had no—I didn't know this one! - I'm actually...I don't know this one either!

Ohh!!!

It reminds me of the time my friend copied

my assignment in uni!

God, I had to redo it!

Wow, that was legit!

- Yeah! - You think the Star Wars theme would

- at least be original. - Guys, if you're watching this [and]

you're new to classical music, check out Korngold,

- 'cause he's also known for cinematic writing music. - Yeah.

His violin concerto is amazing.

It just blew my mind, I did not know.

Korngold, copystrike him!

Well that was SACRILEGIOUS!

I wanna listen to it again,

I just wanna appreciate how similar it was.

Ahh...!

- The first two chords are exactly the same! - It...it's not even...

It's the same chord, the first two chords.

And then the timbre and the instrumentation is exactly the same.

And then...

He changed to...

(both) Yeah.

It took up to the...

- ...that bit, before him to add one different note. - Yeah.

- Okay, the second half, he... - Okay.

But dude, man, that's...

Real sus.

Don't get us wrong, like I mean Star Wars,

- okay, it's cool, whatever, but... - Yeah.

Woooo!!!

...getting a bit close to home!

- You can take inspiration from different artists. - Yeah.

All artists are influenced by others.

Some people even say there's no such thing as

- "original thought", right? - Yeah.

- Taking someone's ideas and create it into your own. - Yeah.

And also, two people can come up

with the exact same ideas at the same time.

But where is that line?

'Cause this is getting a bit close!

This is like note by note!

- Yeah let's keep going, what else is there? - Let's keep going.

- Can I just say, I prefer Korngold's version. - Me too.

Korngold's got a bit more uh, sweeter...

I mean, to be fair,

- John Williams' suits the galaxy battle more, but, - He does,

- Korngold's so beautiful...! - but...personal taste, it's just...

Ahh.

Anyway.

Oh no, there's more?

- Okay, this one, I don't think so. - Yeah, I don't...yeah.

- It doesn't sound that similar to me. - It doesn't sound that similar.

- It has a similar contour, and a similar vibe, - Yeah.

- but the chords were different, - Notes, yeah.

- and the texture was different. - Yeah, yeah.

I think the biggest difference is...

- And... - Yeah.

- I think it's...yeah. - It feels very different.

I think that's different.

Also, I want to say the last...

That.

- That kind of suspension, that's not in the Tchaikovsky. - Yeah, it's not.

Look, I mean, Mr. Williams knew not to go there.

You don't mess with Tchaikovsky.

Tchaikovsky will come after you.

Bro when I saw Tchaikovsky Violin I was like,

(both) No way!

That is SACRILEGIOUS!

Dune Sea...

- This sounds very familiar. - Yeah.

(both) Stravinsky...!

It is!

It is Stravinsky!

Of course!

Rite of Spring!

Yeah, that's why I was like,

- "It sounds almost like Stravinsky!" - It is, it does sound familiar, I'm like "This is..."

Yeah, and I was like, "Stravinsky!"

- For me, this one was less obnoxious than the first two. - Yeah.

But it's getting there, like...

- To me, this is like a 75% similarity, - Yeah.

- where the others were like 95. - Dude, look at Stravinsky's face,

he's like, "You copy me?"

- Right on that one. - I wanna listen to it again.

The...that kind of weird...

...dissonant chord,

- is exactly the same as the Stravin... - The same.

Dude, that's exactly the same.

If he didn't copy,

I do think he probably was inspired from this.

- Oh, 100% inspired, like... - Yeah.

- Okay, okay, 99.9%. Like just in case. - 99.9. We don't know.

Maybe he just thought of...

Maybe he goes....

He's like, "Damn, that was so
