== Analysis ==
This quartet is characterized by its various playing modes, which require to play first ''flautando'', then by playing the [[Bow (music)|bow]] on the [[Tuning mechanisms for stringed instruments|chevilles]] or the [[Scroll (music)|scroll]] of the instrument, then by "rocket sounds", executed by pushing the bow on the string in an accelerated manner,<ref name="NdP">François Bohy, [https://ift.tt/2U0QY73 Note de programme de ''Reigen seliger Geister''], pour le cycle Lachenmann du , on the site of the IRCAM.</ref> or in [[pizzicato]]. At some point, musicians must use a [[plectrum]] and place their instrument on their knees like a guitar.
