Tutti pizzicato.

The quartet of strings (pizzicato), reinforced occasionally by
the harp and piano, may, in certain cases constitute a particular
kind of tutti, which can only attain any great degree of strength
by support from the wood-wind. Without this support it is of medium
power, though still fairly brilliant in quality.
