Johann Sebastian Bach - List of Works
Introduction
J.S. Bach composed over 1000 works. Between 1946 and 1950
Dr. Wolfgang Schmieder compiled a numerical listing of Bach's opus according to
musical forms. His results were published by the company Breitkopf &
H�rtel under the title "Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis der Werke
Joh. Seb. Bachs" (Eng. "Thematic-systematic Listing of the Works of J.S.
Bach"). Schmieder assigned a BWV number (Bach Werk Verzeichnis) to each work,
and this idea was so successful, that most of Bach's works are now known not
only through their title but also through their BWV number.
In the event that you want more detailed information about Bach's works,
please consult a copy of Schmieder's book in a local library. Even though it is
in German it is not too difficult to understand. Obviously we cannot offer all
of the information contained in its 750 pages.
In order to prevent this page from becoming too long, it has been split into
parts according to musical forms and their related BWV numbers.
