List of compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven

July 17, 2023

See also: Catalogues of Beethoven compositions

The compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven consist of 722 works[1] written over forty-five years, from his earliest work in 1782 (variations for piano on a march by Ernst Christoph Dressler) when he was only eleven years old and still in Bonn, until his last work just before his death in Vienna in 1827. Beethoven composed works in all the main genres of classical music, including symphonies, concertos, string quartets, piano sonatas and opera. His compositions range from solo works to those requiring a large orchestra and chorus.

Beethoven straddled both the Classical and Romantic periods, working in genres associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his teacher Joseph Haydn, such as the piano concerto, string quartet and symphony, while on the other hand providing the groundwork for other Romantic composers, such as Hector Berlioz and Franz Liszt, with programmatic works such as his Pastoral Symphony and Piano Sonata "Les Adieux".[2] Beethoven's work is typically divided into three periods: the "Early" period, where he composed in the "Viennese" style; the "Middle" or "Heroic" period, where his work is characterised by struggle and heroism, such as in the Eroica Symphony, the Fifth Symphony, the Appassionata Sonata and in his sole opera Fidelio; and the "Late" period, marked by intense personal expression and an emotional and intellectual profundity. Although his output greatly diminished in his later years, this period saw the composition of masterpieces such as the late string quartets, the final five piano sonatas, the Diabelli Variations, the Missa Solemnis and the Ninth Symphony.[3]

Beethoven's works are classified by both genre and various numbering systems.[4] The best-known numbering system for Beethoven's works is that by opus number, assigned by Beethoven's publishers during his lifetime. Only 172 of Beethoven's works have opus numbers, divided among 138 opus numbers. Many works that were unpublished or published without opus numbers have been assigned one of "WoO" (Werke ohne Opuszahl—works without opus number), Hess or Biamonti numbers. For example, the short piano piece "Für Elise" is more fully known as the "Bagatelle in A minor, WoO 59 ('Für Elise')". Some works are also commonly referred to by their nicknames, such as the Kreutzer Violin Sonata, or the Archduke Piano Trio.

Works are also often identified by their number within their genre. For example, the 14th string quartet, published as Opus 131, may be referenced either as "String Quartet No. 14" or "the Opus 131 String Quartet". The listings below include all of these relevant identifiers. While other catalogues of Beethoven's works exist, the numbers here represent the most commonly used.

Beethoven, caricatured by Johann Peter Lyser [de]

Beethoven's works are published in several editions, the first of these was Ludwig van Beethovens Werke: Vollständige kritisch durchgesehene überall berechtigte Ausgabe published between 1862 and 1865 with a supplemental volume in 1888 by Breitkopf & Härtel, commonly known as the "Beethoven Gesamtausgabe" [GA]. While this was a landmark achievement at the time, the limitations of this edition soon became apparent. Between 1959 and 1971 Willy Hess prepared a supplemental edition, Beethoven: Sämtliche Werke: Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe, [HS] containing works that were not in the Gesamtausgabe.

Since 1961 the Beethoven Archive has been publishing a new scholarly–critical Complete Edition of Beethoven's works, Beethoven: Werke: neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke[5] [NA]. However, only 42 of the projected 56 volumes have been published so far.[6] As this edition has not been published in full there are works without an NA designation.

Orchestral music

Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, nine concertos, and a variety of other orchestral music, ranging from overtures and incidental music for theatrical productions to other miscellaneous "occasional" works, written for a particular occasion. Of the concertos, seven are widely known (one violin concerto, five piano concertos, and one triple concerto for violin, piano, and cello); the other two are an early piano concerto (WoO 4) and an arrangement of the Violin Concerto for piano and orchestra (Opus 61a).

These are followed by additional works with Hess numbers listed in the catalogue of Willy Hess that are not otherwise listed in the Kinsky–Halm Catalogue. Lastly there are works with Biamonti numbers (Bia.), from the Biamonti Catalogue, an attempt to catalogue everything that Beethoven wrote in chronological order, though there are works that were not known at the time it was compiled. Thus there is no definitive catalogue of Beethoven's works to match the Deutsch catalogue for Schubert or the Köchel catalogue for Mozart.

Works with opus numbers

The opus numbers were assigned by publishers to Beethoven's works as they were published. The opus numbers do not include all works that were published in Beethoven's lifetime nor are they in chronological order. For instance, the Octet Op. 103 was written before November 1792, while Op. 102 and Op. 104 were written in 1815 and 1817 respectively.

 
Sextet, Op. 71
1st movement: Adagio – Allegro
2nd movement: Adagio
3rd movement: Menuetto quasi allegretto
4th movement: Rondo – Allegro

Works with WoO numbers

The numbers and categories used below are from the Kinsky–Halm Catalogue of 1955. WoO is an abbreviation of "Werke ohne Opuszahl", German for "Works without Opus number". While some of these works were published during Beethoven's lifetime but not given opus numbers, for instance the piano variations WoO 80, others like Für Elise WoO 59 were not published until later. Unlike with opus numbers which were assigned depending on when the works were published, WoO numbers were assigned by genre.

See also Catalogues of Beethoven compositions The compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven consist of 722 works 1 written over forty five years from his earliest work in 1782 variations for piano on a march by Ernst Christoph Dressler when he was only eleven years old and still in Bonn until his last work just before his death in Vienna in 1827 Beethoven composed works in all the main genres of classical music including symphonies concertos string quartets piano sonatas and opera His compositions range from solo works to those requiring a large orchestra and chorus Title page of Beethoven s symphonies from the GesamtausgabeBeethoven straddled both the Classical and Romantic periods working in genres associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his teacher Joseph Haydn such as the piano concerto string quartet and symphony while on the other hand providing the groundwork for other Romantic composers such as Hector Berlioz and Franz Liszt with programmatic works such as his Pastoral Symphony and Piano Sonata Les Adieux 2 Beethoven s work is typically divided into three periods the Early period where he composed in the Viennese style the Middle or Heroic period where his work is characterised by struggle and heroism such as in the Eroica Symphony the Fifth Symphony the Appassionata Sonata and in his sole opera Fidelio and the Late period marked by intense personal expression and an emotional and intellectual profundity Although his output greatly diminished in his later years this period saw the composition of masterpieces such as the late string quartets the final five piano sonatas the Diabelli Variations the Missa Solemnis and the Ninth Symphony 3 Beethoven s works are classified by both genre and various numbering systems 4 The best known numbering system for Beethoven s works is that by opus number assigned by Beethoven s publishers during his lifetime Only 172 of Beethoven s works have opus numbers divided among 138 opus numbers Many works that were unpublished or published without opus numbers have been assigned one of WoO Werke ohne Opuszahl works without opus number Hess or Biamonti numbers For example the short piano piece Fur Elise is more fully known as the Bagatelle in A minor WoO 59 Fur Elise Some works are also commonly referred to by their nicknames such as the Kreutzer Violin Sonata or the Archduke Piano Trio Works are also often identified by their number within their genre For example the 14th string quartet published as Opus 131 may be referenced either as String Quartet No 14 or the Opus 131 String Quartet The listings below include all of these relevant identifiers While other catalogues of Beethoven s works exist the numbers here represent the most commonly used Contents 1 List of works by genre 1 1 Orchestral

musical greetings in letters and diariesList of works by Beethoven EditThe following is a list of Beethoven s works sorted by Opus number followed by works listed as WoO in the Kinsky Halm Catalogue and then works listed in the appendix of that catalogue which are given Anhang numbers These are followed by additional works with Hess numbers listed in the catalogue of Willy Hess that are not otherwise listed in the Kinsky Halm Catalogue Lastly there are works with Biamonti numbers Bia from the Biamonti Catalogue an attempt to catalogue everything that Beethoven wrote in chronological order though there are works that were not known at the time it was compiled Thus there is no definitive catalogue of Beethoven s works to match the Deutsch catalogue for Schubert or the Kochel catalogue for Mozart Works with opus numbers Edit The opus numbers were assigned by publishers to Beethoven s works as they were published The opus numbers do not include all works that were published in Beethoven s lifetime nor are they in chronological order For instance the Octet Op 103 was written before November 1792 while Op 102 and Op 104 were written in 1815 and 1817 respectively Op 1 Three
