The art of composers: It has always amazed me how prolific the music
giants have been.
What I also find
surprising is how much of their music is not played or even recorded.
Perhaps some composition is really not very good or perhaps it is not up to the level of their better
works, but how do we know if we cannot hear it?
I've put together a small database of some of the
many composers where I've been
able to find the lists of their complete works somewhere on the Internet.
The data has been extracted from
a variety of web sites whose references are included. I then massaged the data
into a form for my own use. Many thanks to all
the others who have actually compiled the individual composer's works.
Try looking at how much some of the giants have actually
produced. I've include the opus or other catalog numbers
and, in some cases where data was available, included the dates, cities of composition, initial performances, dedications
or other useful facts.
If you have any additional lists or pointers to the complete works of other
composers, please let me know.
For your additional enjoyment, I've added a small search function. Enjoy!
