Andante for Oboe and String Orchestra - Yoav Shati (2023)
It's not actually because of Debussy (partly because I only just now learned that this quote isn't from Mozart), but because of Elizabeth from the Fun Musical Challenges group. December 2023's challenge was to compose a piece where the whole ensemble plays for the first half of the measure and is silent for the second half, or vice versa, and I won joint first place along with @PianAle1742
Like some other submissions, I used 3/4 so I have access to two beats of the three, making the space between the notes feel a bit smaller (sorry Debussy...), and I was inspired by Vivaldi's Summer mvt. 1 which starts with a similar sounding section in 3/4 with silences between chords
As is quite common with these challenge pieces, I like this piece a lot but it couldn't really be much longer with such a limitation. It also forced me to use 12/4 at the end, which is a bit stupid...
I used this piece as a trio section of an oboe concertino, adding some notes to feel the spaces even more, but the overall piece ended up not being as good as I'd hoped so I'll probably rework it into a symphony, especially if there's demand for it

I think this is the most composers I've ever mentioned in a video description! 3 alive (including myself) and 3 who aren't
Негізгі бет Музыка Debussy said music is the space between the notes, so I added more of it
