Somehow the "Vorrede" of "Also sprach Zarathustra" came to my mind (no wonder, it's sort of a pop-cultural meme) and I pondered that the (mostly!) ascending notes surely add to the symbolic.

A music piece wanting to always increase the pitch either has to reuse the same note often, or blatantly cheat...or it will be relative short due to human ear pitch limitation. (A mere subset of a piece, say the outro of "Radar Love", obviously doesn't count here.) Do you know one?

  • It's just that that's a type of question that doesn't really suit the platform, similar to how identification questions are now off-topic, as well. If that's the intention of your question, you're better of asking it on a website like Reddit..
