This table of works by the Danish composer Carl Nielsen initially lists them by genre and composition date within a genre.

History

Nielsen wrote music in many genres, notably symphonies, concertos and choral music, but also operas and incidental music, chamber music, solo works for violin, piano and organ as well as a considerable number of songs.[1]

Nielsen assigned an opus number only to selected compositions, from Op 1 for the Suite for String Orchestra in 1888 to Op 58 for the organ work Commotio (1930–1931). The opus number 59 was assigned posthumously to three piano pieces Tre Klaverstykker (1928).[1]

The FS catalogue was first compiled in 1965 by Dan Fog and Torben Schousboe.[2] It is arranged roughly in chronological order in accordance with the publication date of the works, initially up to FS 161. Compositions discovered after 1965 were assigned higher numbers, in connection with the publication of a Nielsen CD in 1998.[3]

The CNW (Catalogue of Carl Nielsen's Works), compiled by the Royal Danish Library, covers all of Nielsen's known works (419 in all). The CNW catalogue numbers link to the individual catalogue entries. Each entry gives a brief description of the work in English together with links to background information and scores from the Carl Nielsen Edition. In contrast to FS, CNW numbers each of Nielsen's songs individually instead of numbering the publications in which they appeared.[1]
