List of works by number

History of the various numbering systems

Original title page for the Piano Sonata, Opus 111

For cataloguing purposes, pieces by Beethoven are identified in four ways: Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ... Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

• by opus number. These were assigned by his publishers, and follow the order in which his works were published, rather than the order they were written. This is why, for example, the Wind Octet of 1792 can be Opus 103, when Opus 102 and Opus 104 were written in 1815 and 1817 respectively. Some opus numbers comprise multiple pieces, thus 172 works are divided among 138 opus numbers. Everything up to and including Opus 135 was published in Beethoven's lifetime; later numbers were published posthumously.
• by WoO (Werke ohne Opuszahl – literally, "works without opus number") number. These were assigned by Georg Kinsky and Hans Halm (who took over from Kinsky after his death) in their 1955 catalogue of Beethoven's works. The 205 WoO numbers are assigned by categories.
• by AnH number - 18 works listed in the appendix (German: Anhang, hence the abbreviation) of Kinsky's catalogue as being either doubtfully attributed, or simply spurious. Some of those listed as doubtful have since been shown to be authored by Beethoven.
• by Hess (abbreviated to H) number. These were assigned by Willy Hess in a listing published shortly after Kinsky's which includes pieces not included in the 19th century Complete edition published by Breitkopf and Härtel. Hess includes many more fragmentary works than does Kinsky; and his catalog runs to 335 entries in the "Hauptkatalog", and 66 "doubtful and falsely-attributed" works in an appendix. Many pieces have both WoO and H numbers - in these cases, WoO numbers are generally favoured over Hess numbers.

There is also the Biamonti catalogue, compiled by Giovanni Biamonti and published in 1968. This combines the pieces with opus numbers and all the works from Kinsky's and Hess' catalogue with hitherto uncatalogued fragments to make a single chronological listing, in 849 entries, some encompassing multiple pieces. Biamonti's numbers, however, are rarely used. Opus, from the Latin word opus meaning work, is usually used in the sense of a work of art. In this sense the plural of opus, opera, is used to refer to the genre of music drama. ... Willy Hess (1906 - 1997) was a Swiss musicologist, composer, and famous Beethoven scholar. ... The Beethoven Gesamtausgabe is the first collected edition of the works of Ludwig van Beethoven. ... Breitkopf & Härtel is the worlds oldest music publishing house. ...

Most of Beethoven's best-known pieces have opus numbers, but there are exceptions, one of the most notable being "Für Elise", WoO 59. Für Elise (German for For Elise) is the popular name of the Bagatelle in A minor, WoO 59, a piece of music for solo piano by Ludwig van Beethoven, written approximately in 1810. ...
