The bow is set aside, and the pizzicato technique is introduced. The fingers of the cellist pluck the strings, producing sharp, percussive notes that punctuate the air. The contrast between bowed and plucked notes is like a conversation, a dialogue between two contrasting personas of the same instrument.
