3 unusual facts about Catalogues of classical compositions


Catalogues of classical compositions

Other composers simply never used opus numbers at all (examples include Copland, Vaughan Williams and many other 20th-century composers).

The most recent catalogue is that of László Somfai; this is a chronological index with works identified by BB numbers 1 to 129, incorporating corrections based on the Béla Bartók Thematic Catalogue.

For Domenico Scarlatti, the Longo catalogue (L numbers) was in use from 1906, and although it has become generally superseded by the 1953 Kirkpatrick catalogue (K or Kk numbers), L numbers are still seen in references.
