527: 'La ci darem la mano' in B-flat major, Op. Ia/1-4Ĭomposed by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, not Chopin Works not included here, due to not knowing either what work they are, or not knowing which work below they ought to be listed as: sketches, fragments, and other works not in the Brown index or Chopin/Fontana catalog: Kobylańska katalogĪs it can be expected that not all releases will always be quite so accommodating as to always use the above defined catalog/index, all three, as well as the Chomiński / Turlo index, as cross-listed here, to make finding any given work easy.posthumous non-Opus: Brown index (2nd Edition).non-posthumous non-Opus: Brown index (2nd Edition).Therefore, in this listing, for track titles: Neither catalog, however, includes sketches and fragmentary works, which are only included in Kobylańska's katalog. No one abbreviation is standard for this index, but 'BI' is common, and will be used in track titles for our purposes (it's among the 2 most common abbreviations used, and is less easy to confuse with the single letter catalog indications of the Chopin catalog when compared with 'B'). (Fontana continued Chopin's Opus catalog.) For non-Opus works, both non-posthumous and posthumous, while Chopin and Fontana did assign catalog numbers, Brown's index numbers are much more commonly used. For the posthumous Opuses, Fontana's catalog numbers are the normal catalog numbers used. Both because of this, and because Kobylańska's katalog (sic) is relatively recent (1979), there is no one commonly used catalog that covers all of Chopin's works.įor the non-posthumous Opuses, Chopin's catalog numbers are the normal catalog numbers used. Unlike Mozart or Bach, however, Chopin assigned his own catalog numbers for many of his works. Mozart's KV catalog (Köchel), Chopin's works have been comprehensively indexed by Kobylańska.
