Works by the Baselt catalogue

Works are identified by the catalogue of Bernd Baselt in the Händel-Handbuch (Band 1: Lebens- und Schaffensdaten; Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis: Bühnenwerke; Bärenreiter, 1978, Band 2: Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis: Oratorische Werke, Vokale Kammermusik, Kirchenmusik; Bärenreiter, 1984, and Band 3: Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis: Instrumentalmusik, Pasticci, Fragmente; Bärenreiter, 1986). The list here omits entries 446 (for two harpsichords), 473 (for musical clock), 474 (for organ with pedal-board), and 587–604 (for musical clock).

In his prefaces, Baselt stated his intention to provide three appendices: Anh. A (pasticci and fragments of operas), Anh. B (doubtful works attributed to Handel), and Anh. C (works incorrectly attributed to Handel). Baselt included the first of these in the third volume of the Händel-Handbuch, but completed neither the second nor the third prior to his death. Hans Joachim Marx and Steffen Voss later created a catalogue to fulfil this (Die G. F. Händel zugeschriebenen Kompositionen 1700–1800; Georg Olms Verlag, 2017), which gives a combined Anh. B comprising both possibly spurious and falsely attributed works. Some works in this Anh. B are also found in the main catalogue by Baselt.
