	Pizzicato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pizzicato is a method of playing a bowed string instrument by plucking the strings with the fingers, rather than using the bow.
		More rarely, pizzicato may be employed in the playing of the piano and other strung keyboard instruments, as one of the variety of techniques involving direct manipulation of the strings known collectively as "string piano".
		This is sometimes known as the Bartók pizzicato (or colloquially as "slapping" or "snap pizzicato"), after one of the first composers to use it extensively.

		Pizzicato Five issued two more compilations in the United States before following up in 1997 with Happy End of the World, which saw simultaneous release in Japan and the United States.

	Pizzicato Five: The Fifth Release From Matador (2000): Reviews
		Once the chuckle factor (unavoidable with kitsch) wears off, Pizzicato Five are guilt-free--non-rockist, non-tech-head--perfect 2000-01 listening.
		As ever, this is a very knowing and authentic nod to retro chic, but one which occasionally crosses the line between infectious and neve-jangling pop, with just a little more style than content.
		When Pizzicato Five gets in this zone, which they do repeatedly here, all the world's a runway, and everyone's a size four and working it on pinpoint stilettos.
