pizzicato

In music, an instruction to string players to pluck the strings with the fingers instead of using the bow. It is frequently abbreviated to ‘pizz’.

Good examples of pizzicato are in the Pizzicato Polka (1870) by Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss, and in the ‘Playful Pizzicato’ of Benjamin Britten's Simple Symphony (1933-34).
