The works of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)

The works of Ludwig van Beethoven
(1770 - 1827)

Catalogue of Works Without Opus Number

Beethoven's Works Without Opus Number (designated WoO from the German) were first compiled by Kinsky in 1955. In parallel with this, Hess was compiling a list of Beethoven's works not included in the Complete Edition of 1888. Many of these were subsequently given WoO numbers but those that remain are given Hess numbers. Finally, in an Appendix to Kinsky's work he listed works regarded as possibly not by Beethoven. Thus which are now confirmed to be by him are given AnH (Anhang = Appendix) numbers. The list below is not complete.

I may expand this at a later date to give a more complete description of the pieces. My main source for these works is 'Cooper (ed A Beethoven Compendium'.
