#Pizzicato strings series#
Funded in part by the Composer Assistance Program of the American Music Center, the entire string quartet, a four-movement composition in which Pizzicato is the third, was premiered by the Avalon String Quartet on Januas part of the Chamber Music Columbus series in Ohio. The loudest pizzicato is really only equivalent to a mezzo forte with the bow. Perfect for quirky, playful and inquisitive moments. Pizzicato was read by the American String Quartet while I was an associate artist at the Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) in New Smyrna Beach, Florida from April 29–May 17, 2001. Cheeky, mischievous and heartwarming pizzicato strings with eccentric melodies and humorous themes.

Inspired by listening to Asian folk music, the piece is influenced partly by the music of the Chinese plucked instruments pipa and qin as well as by the energetic rhythms of Indonesian gamelan. The central sound produced is that of plucked strings as well a few surprises in the middle and towards the end of the work.

Pizzicato is a short work for string quartet, the duration of which the players never use their bows. Recording on Telarc Label with Ying Quartet released January 2008.
