43. COMPOSERS’ WORKS CAN BE NUMBERED MANY WAYS!  By the number in the genre  By opus number  By opus with internal number  By index (Verzeichnis) number  By scholar’s number  String Quartet No. 6  String Quartet Op. 18  String Quartet Op. 18, No. 1  BWV 1006  K. 465 The uniform title uses only one system per composer. Publishers don’t pay attention to uniform titles!

44.  Bach  Beethoven  Haydn  Mozart  Schubert  Vivaldi  Bach Werke Verzeichnis (BWV)  Opus numbers; Woo (Werke ohne opus, works without opus number)  Hoboken (H.)  Köchel (K.)  Deutsch (D.) Shhhh don’t ask about Vivaldi ACK! You had to ask about VIVALDI!

45.  RV is the current standard system, but...  Sometimes opus numbers are used: La stravaganza : 12 violin concertos, opus 4  Sometimes titles are used: Cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione. N. 1-4

46. This gets around the problem of uniform titles, symphony nicknames, etc.
