I thought this might be problematic... Would it be better if the two notes before it were an octave higher so it's a smaller leap?

I see no problem tbh, they're not slurred and because of that the bassonist will add a pause, like an "elegant" staccato

Thank you! I don't remember why I notated them like that. Maybe because it's a relatively fast tempo so the low strings' pizzicato lasts for that long, but I don't know

@@yoavshati Actually, half- and even whole note pizzicatos are permissible in the low strings (though this comes with the implication that the players will also start counting the rests in the phrase exactly rather than relying on performance practice or ear; if you want ringing for the whole phrase, l.v. is better), but definitely only in the bass and *maybe* in the cellos.

@@alessandropradella4457 we must have been reading different music lol. doesn't really matter, as long as it sounds good

That is a very stupid challenge, the ear always finds a tonic and the tonic here is clearly E. Instead of A major it just sounds like E mixolydian without a fourth. But the piece is nice, and that's the most important thing.

@yoavshati

I asked on Reddit and most people who responded agree that it's in A major, but there was one person saying it's in E mixolydian As you say, that's not as important as the piece sounding good, so I'm glad you liked it!

@@yoavshati If you make pasta carbonara without pasta you just have an omelette with bacon. It can't be A major if there's no A. One could say that it is in the same harmonic universe as A major because of the three sharps, but as I've said the ear always latches onto the lowest note of a passage as a tonic. The only mode of A major that can give a sense of tonal ambiguity is Locrian (A major starting on G#), since it has no perfect fifth. Also playing with harmonies built on seconds and fourths. Just some food for thought for your next experiment.

@@claudiomonteverdi7126 The thing I disagree with (which is subjective) is that I feel like the E7 chords in my piece have dominant function and want to resolve to A. That's why I wouldn't call it anything other than A major despite there not being any A notes. If I ended the piece on an A chord with the note A it would sound great and very resolved in my opinion I uploaded 2 short pieces with fourth based harmony as shorts to my channel, if you're interested, and there are 2 experiments with my accompanying thoughts on my MuseScore page I also have a piece here that changes keys every 4 measures, and 3 pieces using the 12-tone technique, which might also interest you. If you have suggestions for more interesting experiments I could learn from I'd be happy to hear them
