Johann Sebastian Bach

Works by the Schmieder catalogue (BWV², 1990)

Works are identified by the 1990 catalogue of Wolfgang Schmieder (Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis der musikalischen Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach: Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis; Breitkopf & Härtel, 1990).

The catalogue uses a double numbering system for moved and new entries; for example, the fantasia in G minor (BWV¹ 920) has the catalogue number BWV² 920 / Anh. II 87 →, meaning that it keeps its main 920 number, but showing that it is now placed in the catalogue after BWV² Anh. II 87. For simplicity, this is listed below as just BWV² 920, and similarly for other entries. See also works ordered by the 1950 catalogue (BWV¹), the 1998 catalogue (BWV^2a) and the 2022 catalogue (BWV³).
