[[File:Canon BWV 1076.jpg|thumb|upright=1.21| ''Canon triplex a 6'': first printed in 1747 (below), it appears on both versions of the portrait [[Elias Gottlob Haussmann|Haussmann]] made of Bach (1746, 1748 – above). In the 19th-century [[Bach Gesellschaft]] edition the canon was published in Volume 45<sup>1</sup>, p. 138. In 1950 the piece was assigned the number 1076 in [[Wolfgang Schmieder|Schmieder]]'s catalogue of Bach's works (BWV). The 1998 edition of that catalogue (BWV<sup>2a</sup>) mentions Haussmann's paintings as original sources for the work (p. 438), and likewise the Bach digital website gives a description of both paintings as sources for the piece (linked from Bach digital Work page {{BDW|1262}}).]]

==Listing Bach's compositions==
Some of the early [[biographies of Johann Sebastian Bach]] contain lists of his compositions. For instance, [[Bach's Nekrolog|his obituary]] contains a list of the instrumental [[List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach printed during his lifetime|compositions printed during the composer's lifetime]], followed by an approximate list of his unpublished work.{{sfn|Bach|Agricola|1754|pp=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_lfQ4AAAAIAAJ/page/n1045/mode/2up 167]–[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_lfQ4AAAAIAAJ/page/n1047/mode/2up 169]}} The [[Johann Sebastian Bach: His Life, Art, and Work|first separately published biography of the composer]], by [[Johann Nikolaus Forkel]], follows the same approach: its ninth chapter first lists printed works (adding [[18th-century prints of Bach's four-part chorales|four-part chorales which had been published in the second half of the 18th century]]), followed by a rough overview of the unpublished ones.{{sfn|Forkel|Terry|1920|loc=[https://archive.org/details/johannsebastian01terrgoog/page/n161/mode/2up "Chapter IX: Bach's Compositions" pp.&nbsp;114–142]}} In the first half of the 19th century more works were published, so the next biographies (Schauer and Hilgenfeldt in 1850) had more elaborate appendices listing printed works, referring to these works by publisher, and the number or page number given to the works in these publications. So, for example, the [[Prelude and Fugue in E flat major, BWV 552|Prelude and Fugue in E-flat major]] can be indicated as "[[C. F. Peters]] Vol. III No. 1", or any of the variants ("[[Friedrich Konrad Griepenkerl|Griepenkerl]] and Roitzsch Vol. 3 p. 2", "Peters Book 242 p. 2", "P. S. V., Cah. 3 (242), No. 1", etc.)

===BG===
[[File:WTK-I-12-01-Leipzig Breitkopf & Haertel, 1866.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|The Prelude in [[F minor]] of ''[[The Well-Tempered Clavier]]'' book 1, in the [[Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe|BGA]] known as Vol. 14, p. 44, over eighty years before it was given the number 857 in the ''Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis'']]
In the 2nd half of the 19th century the [[Bach-Gesellschaft]] (BG) published all Bach's works in around 50 volumes, the so-called [[Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe]] (BGA).<ref name="BGAIMSLP" /> This offered a unique identification of all Bach's known works, a system that was quickly adopted, for instance, by the biographers: [[Philipp Spitta]] used it complementarily to the Peters edition's numbering for the BG volumes that had appeared when he was writing [[Spitta's Johann Sebastian Bach|his Bach-biography]] in the second half of the 19th century (e.g. "B. G., III., p. 173" for the above-mentioned Prelude in E-flat major), and Terry used it in the third Appendix to his 20th-century translation of Forkel's biography.{{sfn|Forkel|Terry|1920|loc=[https://archive.org/stream/johannsebastian01terrgoog#page/n274/mode/1up "Appendix III" pp.&nbsp;225–286]}}

Despite this, there was still much confusion. Some authors preferred to list Bach's works according to [[Novello & Co|Novello]]'s editions, or [[Augener & Co.|Augener]]'s, or [[G. Schirmer Inc.|Schirmer]]'s, giving rise to various conversion tables at the end of books on Bach's compositions (e.g. [https://archive.org/stream/organworksofbach00grac#page/305/mode/1up Harvey Grace's in a 1922 book on Bach's organ compositions]).

====NBG====
In 1900 the BG published its last volume, and dissolved itself, as its primary goal, publishing all of Bach's known works, was accomplished. The BG was succeeded by the [[Neue Bachgesellschaft]] (NBG), with a new set of goals (Bach yearbook, Bach festivals, and a Bach museum). Occasionally however the NBG published newly discovered works, or variants not published in the BGA. For instance the 1740s version of ''[[O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht, BWV 118|O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht]]'' was published in NBG XVII<sup>1</sup> in 1916 (the 1730s version of the same piece, with a different orchestration, had been published in BG 24, pp.&nbsp;185–192).{{sfn|Forkel|Terry|1920|loc=[https://archive.org/stream/johannsebastian01terrgoog#page/n274/mode/1up "Appendix III" pp.&nbsp;225–286]}}

===BWV===
{{see also|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis}}
In 1950 the ''Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis'' ({{Literal translation|Bach Works Catalogue}}; BWV) was published, allocating a unique number to every known composition by Bach. [[Wolfgang Schmieder]], the editor of that catalogue, grouped the compositions by genre (''not'' chronologically), largely following BG for the collation (e.g., BG cantata number = BWV number of the cantata):{{sfn|Schmieder|1950}}
[[File:Loure bach.png|thumb|upright=1.2|The BWV is a [[thematic catalogue]], thus it identifies every movement of every composition by its first measures, like the opening of [[Partita for Violin No. 3 (Bach)|BWV 1006]], movement 2 (Loure) above.]]
# [[#BWV Chapter 1|Kantaten (Cantatas)]], BWV 1–224
# [[#BWV Chapter 2|Motetten (Motets)]], BWV 225–231
# [[#BWV Chapter 3|Messen, Messensätze, Magnificat (Masses, Mass movements, Magnificat)]], BWV 232–243
# [[#BWV Chapter 4|Passionen, Oratorien (Passions, Oratorios)]], BWV 244–249
# [[#BWV Chapter 5|Vierstimmige Choräle (Four-part chorales)]], BWV 250–438
# [[#BWV Chapter 6|Lieder, Arien, Quodlibet (Songs, Arias and Quodlibet)]], BWV 439–524
# [[#BWV Chapter 7|Werke für Orgel (Works for organ)]], BWV 525–771
# [[#BWV Chapter 8|Werke für Klavier (Keyboard compositions)]], BWV 772–994
# [[#BWV Chapter 9|Werke für Laute (Lute compositions)]], BWV 995–1000
# [[#BWV Chapter 10|Kammermusik (Chamber music)]], BWV 1001–1040
# [[#BWV Chapter 11|Orchesterwerke (Works for orchestra)]], BWV 1041–1071, originally in two separate chapters: Concertos (BWV 1041–1065) and Overtures (BWV 1066–1071)
# [[#BWV Chapter 12|Kanons (Canons)]], BWV 1072–1078
# [[#BWV Chapter 13|Musikalisches Opfer, Kunst der Fuge (Musical Offering, Art of the Fugue)]], BWV 1079–1080

For instance, the Prelude and Fugue in E-flat major now became [[BWV 552]], situated in the range of the works for organ.<ref name="oclc18856743"/>

In contrast to other catalogues, such as the [[Köchel catalogue]] for [[Mozart]]'s compositions, no attempt is made at chronological organization in the BWV numbering; for instance, although [[BWV 992]] has a relatively high number, it happens to be an early composition by Bach.<ref name="oclc18856743"/>

Although not as common, BWV numbers are sometimes also known as Schmieder (S) numbers, after the original editor; for example, S.&nbsp;225 is the same as [[BWV&nbsp;225]].<ref name="oclc18856743">{{OCLC|18856743}}</ref>

Another consequence of the ordering principles of the BWV was that it split known collections apart; for instance, [[Clavier-Übung III]] was partly in the organ compositions range (BWV 552 and 669–689), with the four duets listed among the keyboard compositions (BWV 802–805).

====BWV Anh.====
The Anhang (Anh.), i.e. Appendix, of the BWV listed works that were not suitable for the main catalogue, in three sections:
* [[#BWV Anhang|I – lost works, or works of which only a tiny fraction had survived]] (Anh. 1–23)
* [[#BWV Anhang II|II – works of dubious authenticity]] (Anh. 24–155)
* [[#BWV Anhang III|III – works that were once attributed to Bach, but for which it had been established they were not composed by him]] (Anh. 156–189)
Within each section of the Anhang the works are sorted by genre, following the same sequence of genres as the main catalogue.

Schmieder published the BWV's second edition in 1990, with some modifications regarding authenticity discriminations, and more works added to the main catalogue and the Anhang. A strict numerical collation was abandoned to insert additions, or when for another reason compositions were regrouped. For example, [[BWV 11]], formerly listed as a Cantata, was moved to the fourth chapter of the main catalogue as an Oratorio. Rather than renumbering a composition, an arrow indicated where the composition was inserted: "{{nobreak|BWV 11/249b→}}" meaning "BWV&nbsp;11, inserted after BWV&nbsp;249b" (4th chapter). Similarly, {{nobreak|BWV 1083/243a→}} meant [[BWV&nbsp;1083]], inserted after BWV&nbsp;243a (3rd chapter). Also, authenticity discriminations, based on new research, could lead to such repositionings within the catalogue; for example, "{{nobreak|BWV Anh. II 114}}" became "{{nobreak|Anh. II 114/Anh. III 183→}}, indicating it was now considered a spurious work.{{sfn|Schmieder|1990}}

In 1998, [[Alfred Dürr]] and Yoshitake Kobayashi published a small edition of the catalogue, based on the 1990 second edition. This edition, known as BWV<sup>2a</sup>, contained a few further updates and collation rearrangements.{{sfn|Dürr|Kobayashi|1998}}

New additions (Nachträge) to BWV<sup>2</sup>/BWV<sup>2a</sup> included:

* [[#Additions to the main catalogue (BWV 1081–1126)|BWV 1081–1126]]
* [[#Additions to the Anhang (BWV Anh. 190–213)|BWV Anh. 190–213]]

A few exceptions to the principle that compositions were not renumbered were when a composition from the Anhang could be recovered or authenticated as Bach's, so that it deserved a place in the main catalogue, in which case it was given a number above 1080. So, for example, BWV&nbsp;Anh.&nbsp;205 (BWV<sup>2</sup>) → BWV&nbsp;1121 (BWV<sup>2a</sup>, where it is in section 7 as a work for organ).<ref>{{BDh|1516|0|2019-05-14|Work|Fantasia, c BWV 1121 &#91;BWV 1998&#93;; BWV Anh. 205 / Anh. II 45→}}</ref>

Other renumberings and additional numbers involved alternative or earlier versions of basically the same composition, which were indicated by adding a lower case letter to the BWV number. Examples:
* [[BWV 243a]]: 1723 E{{flat}} major version of the 1733 Magnificat in D major [[BWV 243]]
* BWV 1071 renumbered to [[BWV 1046a]] (early version of the [[BWV 1046|first ''Brandenburg Concerto'']])
* BWV Anh. 198 renumbered to [[BWV 149/1a]] (earlier abandoned version of the opening movement of Cantata [[BWV&nbsp;149]])

Some versions were completely removed from the catalogue, e.g. BWV 655b and c.

Slashes indicate movements: e.g. [[BWV&nbsp;149]]/1 indicates the first movement of the Cantata BWV&nbsp;149. Another example: the [[Mass in B minor structure#Agnus Dei|Agnus Dei]] of the [[Mass in B minor]] can be indicated as BWV&nbsp;232/22 (22nd movement of the composition), or alternatively as BWV&nbsp;232<sup>IV</sup>/4 (BWV 232, fourth movement of Part IV).

====21st-century additions====
[[Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis#Numbers above BWV 1126|Numbers above BWV 1126]] were added in the 21st century.

====Reconstructed versions====
An upper case R added to a BWV number indicates a [[#Reconstructions|reconstructed version]], that is a conjectured earlier version of a known composition. One of such reconstructions, the Concerto for oboe and violin, as published in NBA VII/7 (Supplement) p.&nbsp;75, based on the double harpsichord concerto BWV 1060, is known as [[BWV 1060R]].

====BWV<sup>3</sup>====
As of mid-2018 the [[#BD|Bach digital]] website started to implement the new numbers of the 3rd edition of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis, which has been announced for publication in 2020.{{sfn|Blanken|2019}} For example, the Leipzig version of the [[BWV 4|''Christ lag in Todes Banden'' cantata]] used to be BWV&nbsp;4 in previous versions of the catalogue, and, in BWV<sup>3</sup>, has become [[BWV&nbsp;4.2]].<ref>{{BDh|4|0000|2019-03-11|Work|Christ lag in Todes Banden (Leipzig version) BWV 4.2; BWV 4}}</ref>

===NBA===
[[File:CU3title.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|The [[Neue Bach-Ausgabe|NBA]] illustrates its score editions with facsimiles from manuscripts or contemporary editions: for instance NBA Series IV Volume 4 (''[[Clavier-Übung III]]'') contains a facsimile of the title page of the 1739 first edition of that collection.]]
In the meantime, the [[New Bach Edition]] (Neue Bach-Ausgabe, abbreviated as NBA) was being published,<ref>[https://www.baerenreiter.com/en/catalogue/complete-editions/bach-johann-sebastian/nba/ Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750): New Edition of the Complete Works] at the [[Bärenreiter]] website.</ref><ref name="NBAIMSLP" /> offering a new system to refer to Bach's works, e.g. {{nobreak|NBA IV/4: 2, 105}}, which is Series&nbsp;IV, Volume&nbsp;4, p.&nbsp;2 (Prelude) and p.&nbsp;105 (Fugue), for BWV&nbsp;552.

====NBArev====
{{see also|New Bach Edition#Revision}}
Some years after the completion of the NBA in 2007 its publisher [[Bärenreiter]] joined with the [[Bach Archive]] again to publish revised editions of some of Bach's scores. These revised editions, aligning with the NBA editions (format, layout), but outside that group of publications, were published under the name Johann Sebastian Bach: New Edition of the Complete Works – Revised Edition (Johann Sebastian Bach: Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke – Revidierte Edition), in short: New Bach Edition – Revised (Neue Bach-Ausgabe – Revidierte Edition), abbreviated as NBArev. Where the original NBA editions were exclusively in German, the volumes of the Revised series have their introductions both in German and English. Its first volume, NBArev 1, was a new edition of the [[Mass in B minor]], appearing in 2010.<ref>[https://www.baerenreiter.com/en/catalogue/complete-editions/bach-johann-sebastian/nbarev/ Johann Sebastian Bach: New Edition of the Complete Works – Revised Edition] at the [[Bärenreiter]] website.</ref>

===BC===
The Bach Compendium (BC), a catalogue covering Bach's vocal works was published in 1985.<ref>[[Hans-Joachim Schulze]] and [[Christoph Wolff]]. ''Bach Compendium: Analytisch-bibliographisches Repertorium der Werke Johann Sebastian Bachs'', Vol. 1 (Part 1–4). Leipzig 1985ff.</ref> Occasionally works that have no BWV number can be identified by their BC number, e.g. BC&nbsp;C&nbsp;8 for "[[Der Gerechte kömmt um]]" an arrangement attributed to Bach on stylistic grounds, however unmentioned in the BWV.<ref>{{BDh|1532|0|2019-05-25|Work|Der Gerechte kömmt um ... BWV deest (BC C 8)}}</ref>

===BNB===
Bachs Notenbibliothek (BNB) is a list of works Bach had at his disposition. Works of other composers which were arranged by Bach or which he (had) copied for performance usually have a BNB number.<ref>Kirsten Beißwenger (1992). ''Johann Sebastian Bachs Notenbibliothek''. Kassel: Bärenreiter. {{ISBN|3-7618-1036-9}}</ref>

===SBB===
The [[Berlin State Library]] (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin = SBB) holds an important collection of composition [[manuscript]]s relating to Bach. Some versions of works are best known by their principal manuscript in the SBB, for instance {{nobreak|BWV 525a}} = {{nobreak|SBB ''St 345''}}, or according to the abbreviations used at the Bach-digital website [http://www.bach-digital.de/receive/BachDigitalSource_source_00002542 {{nobreak|D-B Mus. ms. Bach ''St 345''}}].
{{anchor|Chronological}}

===By opus number, and chronological lists===
[[File:Clavier-Übung-I-title-page.jpg|thumb|upright=1.20|Title page of Bach's Opus 1 (''[[Clavier-Übung I]]'', 1731), the only time he seems to have used an [[opus number]] ]]
Apart from indicating his first published keyboard composition as Opus 1, Bach did not use [[opus number]]s. Lists following publication chronologies are for example implied in the first list in Bach's obituary, and BG numbers (within the BGA sequence of publication) – overall lists covering all of Bach's compositions in order of first publication are however not a way Bach's compositions are usually presented.

Listing Bach's works according to their time of composition cannot be done comprehensively: for many works the period in which they were composed is a very wide range. For Bach's larger vocal works (cantatas, Passions,...) research has led to some more or less generally accepted chronologies, covering most of these works: a catalogue in this sense is Philippe (and Gérard) Zwang's list giving a chronological number to the cantatas BWV 1–215 and 248–249.<ref>[http://www.musiqueorguequebec.ca/catal/bacjs/corrbwvz.html Johann Sebastian Bach: Correspondance Catalogues Zwang — Schmeider] at {{url|www.musiqueorguequebec.ca}}</ref> This list was published in 1982 as ''Guide pratique des cantates de Bach'' in Paris, {{ISBN|2-221-00749-2}}. A revised edition was published in 2005 ({{ISBN|2747598888}}).

==Works in Bach's catalogues and collections==
There are over 1500 works that feature in a catalogue of works by Bach, like the ''Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis'', or in a collection of works associated with Bach (e.g. in one of the ''[[Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach|Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach]]''). Of these around a thousand are original compositions by Bach, that is: more than a mere copy or transcription of an earlier work by himself or another composer.

===By genre===

====Cantatas (BWV 1–224)====
:''See [[#BWV Chapter 1]] in the table above''
{{see also|List of Bach cantatas}}
In the 1950 first edition of the BWV the [[Cantata|cantatas]] were largely listed according to their BGA number:
* BWV 1–200: [[Church cantata (Bach)|Church cantata]]s
* BWV 201–216: [[List of secular cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach|Secular cantatas]]
* BWV 217–224: Cantatas with various issues (lost, incomplete, spurious, doubtful)
Additionally Anh. I of the first edition of the BWV started with a list of some 20 lost cantatas, while Anh. III of that edition listed a few cantata (movements) by other composers (Anh. 156–158).

BWV<sup>2a</sup> added many more lost cantatas (BWV Anh. 190–199 and 209–212) and alternative versions to known works indicating (partially) lost cantatas or cantata versions, e.g. [[BWV 244a]], the music of which was partially preserved in the ''St Matthew Passion'', BWV 244.

* BWV 231 was later renumbered to BWV 28/2a, a variant of the second movement of cantata [[BWV 28]]
* [[BWV 118]], published as a cantata in the 19th century, was later recategorised as a motet, following Bach's designation on the score.

==Derivative works==
{{see also|List of transcriptions of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach}}
There is not much system in the way works derived from Bach's compositions are listed. The "R" addition to the BWV number is only well-established for the reconstructions included in NBA VII/7 (e.g. solo violin reconstructions of BWV 565 are not usually indicated as BWV 565R, neither is the system used for reconstructed vocal works). For some series of transcriptions and arrangements works catalogues of these transcribers/arrangers may hold sublists with works derived from compositions by Bach.

===Reconstructed concertos===
:''See also [[#Reconstructions]] in the table above''
{{further|List of orchestral works by Johann Sebastian Bach#Reconstructed concertos}}
Each reconstructed concerto is created after the harpsichord concerto for the presumed original instrument. Such reconstructions are commonly referred to as, for example, BWV 1052R (where the R stands for 'reconstructed'). Other reconstructions and completions of for instance BWV 1059 have been indicated as BWV 1059,<ref>[[Igor Kipnis]], The London Strings, [[Neville Marriner]]. ''Bach: The Harpsichord Concertos''. CBS 1989</ref> or BWV 1059a.<ref>[[André Isoir]], Le Parlement de Musique, Martin Gester. ''Johann Sebastian Bach: L'oeuvre pour orgue et orchestre''. Calliope 1993</ref>

===Adaptations===
Transcriptions and arrangements in the catalogues of works by other composers include:
;[[Ferruccio Busoni]]: Catalogue numbers [[List of adaptations by Ferruccio Busoni#Transcriptions (BV B 20 to 115)|BV B 20 to B 46]] are arrangements of works by Bach, many of which published in the [[Bach-Busoni Editions]].
