Johann Sebastian Bach

Works by the Schmieder catalogue (BWV³, 2022)

Works are identified by the 2022 catalogue of Wolfgang Schmieder, as revised by Christine Blanken, Christoph Wolff and Peter Wollny (Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis der musikalischen Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach: Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis; Breitkopf & Härtel, 2022). See also works ordered by the 1950 catalogue (BWV¹), the 1990 catalogue (BWV²) and the 1998 catalogue (BWV^2a).

The catalogue uses a different appendix categorisation compared to BWV^1,2,2a for works of doubtful authenticity. App A contains works with eighteenth-century attributions to J.S. Bach that are likely spurious based on stylistic reasons, App B contains works with attributions to Bach, and App C contains works with no or erroneous attributions.
