FORMAT OF THE WORKLIST
As can be seen, the worklist is organized by forces. Within each category, the order of pieces is chronological, by year, but within each year, works are not strictly in order of composition.
Entries take the following form: work title; date of composition; author of text, if any; number and titles of separate movements; forces, unless specified by the category heading; current publisher, if published, and first publisher, where different; first commercial recording, if recorded; dedication, if any; other information, if any.
Capitalization of titles follows the composer's preference.
MUSICAL ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations for voices and instruments follow Grove Music Online
