Thematic Catalogues and Worklists
- Hoboken, Anthony van. Joseph Haydn: Thematisch-bibliographisches Werk-
verzeichnis.Mainz: Schott, 1957–1978. 3v. ML134 .H4 H68.
For each composition: dates, scoring, manuscripts and locations, editions,
arrangements, thematic incipits, citations to Haydn’s correspondence, and
citations to secondary literature. Operas are in v.2. Since there is no title index,
the effort of Anna-Lena Holm, Index of Titles and Text Incipits to Anthony
van Hoboken: “Joseph Haydn. Thematisch-bibliographisches Werkverzeich-
nis. 2, Vokalwerke.”(Strandvägen: Swedish Music History Archive, 1978),
will be useful.
