I am opening this topic to learn more about the subject.

Aparte the classic Pizz, I know one can indicate Bartok-style pizzicati, Paganini, etc. (?)

In short: how many, which ones, and what are the differences..

I had found a "strange" one here:

At measure 65 of the second movement (p. 66), they told me it's staccato but ?

If you feel like digging ...

Curiosity, when did Bartok use his pizzicato for the first time?

In the quartets they are already present, so I'll start with '900

I had lost this topic.

Ordinary pizzicato with the right hand

Pizzicato with two or three fingers (one finger per string)

"Bartók-style" pizzicato

Pizzicato with the left hand
Pizzicato with the fingernail

> which ones and differences

The best way is to contact an instrumentalist ... and listen
