Examples of pizzicato

• The substantial first-movement development is largely in the minor, with solo bravura passages over pizzicato accompaniment featuring in both outer movements.

• The very first section features a typically multi-layered texture with helter-skeltering violin scales speckled with pizzicato strings, brass and keyboards.

• The source of inspiration is not hard to decipher: frequently recurring tutti pizzicato strumming figures conjure up images of water lapping the sides of gondolas.

• During this particular session we were working on the idea of simultaneous pizzicato on both sides of the string.

• The use of pizzicato (on-string) in the piano part, which begins the work, also helps bring the instruments' timbres closer together.

• The return of the scherzo is silenced rather as the first movement, with a single pizzicato chord.

• Mostly focusing on pizzicato, it includes examples of tremolo, trills, glissandos and harmonics.

• In pizzicato violin, strummed or plucked guitar, and piano, the user is not in continuous contact with the primary resonator.
