376 II. Catalogue of all Schubert's works, printed and unprinted, in the order of their composition, as far as is ascertainable.

This attempt is compiled from the dates given (1) in Mr. Nottebohm's Thematic Catalogue; (2) in the 'Chronological Catalogue of all the Songs composed by F. Schubert from 1811 to 1828' in the Witteczek Collection of the Musikverein at Vienna; (3) from my own notes taken in the Archives of the same Collection; (4) from the List given by Reissmann; (5) from occasional information in Letters; and (6) from all other sources available to the compiler. The date is most usually marked by Schubert himself upon the piece. Occasionally it has been supplied from a letter, as in the case of 'Einsamkeit' (No. 550); from inference, or some other source; but this is very rare. The compositions to which no date can be affixed are placed at the end of the Catalogue. Where two dates are given the left-hand one is that of beginning the piece, the right-hand one that of ending it. 'à 3,' 'à 4' etc. = for 3, or 4, voices. F. = female voices. M.= men's voices ('à 4 M. and Orch.' = for 4 men's voices with orchestra). N.B.—All instrumental works, and works with orchestral accompaniments, are in italics.
