Dear Kira, I know that this piece just came out as a playful response to your interest in classical music when I watched one of your livestreams in the hopes of helping you if you want any recommendations, but nonetheless I still cannot believe that this will be one of the fastest pieces I can ever attempt to write down in my composing hobby. (I say, hobby, I am not confident to make a living out of it, but it's alright with me, don't worry.) I tried my best to figure out how can I make the product not too melancholic nor too humorous. I feel contented with this one, and I hope you do too. By the way, the title of the piece is a humoristic portmanteau between "peach" and "pizzicato", a technique commonly used in string instruments played by plucking the strings to the assigned note. Since the piece is composed for piano, however, the equivalent technique for said instrument, the "staccato" is applied here. It is also a tribute to another piece, "Pizzicato Polka", by a French composer named Leo Delibes that he composed for his ballet "Sylvia," to which, I will admit, has influenced me in a helpful way, and therefore has some similarities to the one I made.

Written in A minor, the piece begins with an octave introduction, the motif provided (C - E - A - B - F) making its entrance for the A section, the chromatic passages demanding a moderate level of finger dexterity with its staccato markings. In contrast, the repeating B section in A major is mellow in character, and no staccato is used; however the mood turns somewhat dramatic on its way to the recapitulation of the A section. This time, there are noticeable changes made towards the coda, in which the motif appears once again before ending the piece in the opposite ends of the piano.
