Portada de las sinfonías de Beethoven del Gesamtausgabe
La lista de composiciones de Ludwig van Beethoven consta de 722 obras [1] escritas a lo largo de cuarenta y cinco años, desde su primera obra en 1782 (variaciones para piano sobre una marcha de Ernst Christoph Dressler ) cuando sólo tenía once años y todavía estaba en Bonn , hasta su último trabajo justo antes de su muerte en Viena en 1827. Beethoven compuso obras en todos los géneros principales de la música clásica, incluidas sinfonías, conciertos, cuartetos de cuerda, sonatas para piano y ópera. Sus composiciones van desde obras solistas hasta aquellas que requieren una gran orquesta y coro.
Las obras de Beethoven están clasificadas tanto por género como por varios sistemas de numeración. [4] El sistema de numeración más conocido para las obras de Beethoven es el número de opus , asignado por los editores de Beethoven durante su vida. Sólo 172 de las obras de Beethoven tienen número de opus, divididas en 138 números de opus. A muchas obras inéditas o publicadas sin número de opus se les ha asignado uno de los números " WoO " ( Werke ohne Opuszahl —obras sin número de opus), Hess o Biamonti . Por ejemplo, la pieza corta para piano " Für Elise " se conoce más como "Bagatelle in La menor, WoO 59 ('Für Elise')". Algunas obras también reciben comúnmente nombres por sus apodos, como la Sonata para violín de Kreutzer o el Trío para piano del Archiduque .
Las obras también suelen identificarse por su número dentro de su género. Por ejemplo, el cuarteto de cuerda número 14 , publicado como Opus 131, puede denominarse " Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 14 " o "Cuarteto de cuerda Opus 131". Los listados a continuación incluyen todos estos identificadores relevantes. Si bien existen otros catálogos de las obras de Beethoven , los números aquí representan los más utilizados.

Beethoven, caricaturizado por Johann Peter Lyser [de]
Las obras de Beethoven se publican en varias ediciones, la primera de ellas fue Ludwig van Beethovens Werke: Vollständige kritisch durchgesehene überall berechtigte Ausgabe publicada entre 1862 y 1865 con un volumen suplementario en 1888 por Breitkopf & Härtel , comúnmente conocida como " Beethoven Gesamtausgabe " [ GA ]. Si bien esto fue un logro histórico en su momento, las limitaciones de esta edición pronto se hicieron evidentes. Entre 1959 y 1971 Willy Hess preparó una edición complementaria, Beethoven: Sämtliche Werke: Suplemente zur Gesamtausgabe , [ HS ] que contiene obras que no estaban en el Gesamtausgabe .
Desde 1961, el Archivo Beethoven publica una nueva edición completa académica y crítica de las obras de Beethoven, Beethoven: Werke: neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke [5] [ NA ]. Sin embargo, hasta ahora sólo se han publicado 42 de los 56 volúmenes proyectados. [6] Como esta edición no ha sido publicada íntegramente hay obras sin designación NA.

musica orquestal
Beethoven escribió nueve sinfonías , nueve conciertos y una variedad de otras músicas orquestales, que van desde oberturas y música incidental para producciones teatrales hasta otras obras diversas "ocasionales", escritas para una ocasión particular. De los conciertos, siete son ampliamente conocidos (un concierto para violín, cinco conciertos para piano y un concierto triple para violín, piano y violonchelo); los otros dos son un concierto para piano antiguo ( WoO 4 ) y un arreglo del Concierto para violín para piano y orquesta ( Opus 61a ).
Sinfonías
Se cree que Beethoven tenía la intención de escribir una Décima Sinfonía en el último año de su vida; Barry Cooper reunió una versión escénica de posibles bocetos . [10]
Además de las 32 célebres sonatas , la obra de Beethoven para piano solo incluye muchas piezas de un solo movimiento , más de veinte conjuntos de variaciones , la mayoría inéditas en vida o publicadas sin número de opus, y más de treinta bagatelas , incluida la conocida " Für Elise ".
La siguiente es una lista de las obras de Beethoven, ordenadas por número de Opus , seguidas de las obras enumeradas como WoO en el Catálogo Kinsky-Halm, y luego las obras enumeradas en el apéndice de ese catálogo, a las que se les asignan números "Anhang". A estos les siguen obras adicionales con números de Hess enumerados en el catálogo de Willy Hess que no figuran de otro modo en el Catálogo Kinsky-Halm. Por último hay obras con números de Biamonti (Bia.), del Catálogo Biamonti , un intento de catalogar en orden cronológico todo lo que Beethoven escribió, aunque hay obras que no se conocían en el momento de su compilación. Por tanto, no existe un catálogo definitivo de las obras de Beethoven que coincida con el catálogo alemán de Schubert o el catálogo de Köchel para Mozart.
Funciona con números de opus
Los editores asignaron los números de obra a las obras de Beethoven a medida que fueron publicadas. Los números de obra no incluyen todas las obras que se publicaron en vida de Beethoven ni están en orden cronológico. Por ejemplo, el Octeto Op. 103 fue escrito antes de noviembre de 1792, mientras que el op. 102 y op. 104 fueron escritos en 1815 y 1817 respectivamente.
op. 138: Leonore , ópera (versión anterior de Fidelio , con Leonore Obertura n.° 1 ) (1807)
Funciona con números WoO
Los números y categorías utilizados a continuación provienen del catálogo Kinsky-Halm de 1955. WoO es una abreviatura de "Werke ohne Opuszahl", que en alemán significa "Obras sin número de Opus". Si bien algunas de estas obras se publicaron durante la vida de Beethoven pero no se les asignaron números de opus, por ejemplo las variaciones para piano WoO 80, otras como Für Elise WoO 59 no se publicaron hasta más tarde. A diferencia de los números de obra, que se asignaban dependiendo de cuándo se publicaron las obras, los números de WoO se asignaban por género.
