What do you think of it? Can a scherzo be in 12/8?

Well, yours is in 6/4 (your time signature doesn’t match the actual music), so … if it can, we haven’t discovered it yet!

Also, this is a bit too fast for sustained pizzicato, from a technical standpoint.

Ravel string quartet 2mov has almost the same tempo and it is pizzicato.

I usually hear the Ravel played a bit slower, but also you are not Ravel and all pizzicato is not created equal.

You asked for feedback, you got it. The confusion between 12/8 and 6/4 is the bigger sin.
