List of compositions by Franz Schubert
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of compositions by Franz Schubert
Many of Franz Schubert's works are covered in separate Wikipedia articles, for which there are links on this page.
A complete list of Schubert's works arranged by "D number" (see below), is available in the following two articles:

About the way(s) Schubert's compositions are listed
The indication "D" or "D." refers to "Deutsch", that is Otto Erich Deutsch, who created a (more or less) chronological (by composition date) catalogue of Schubert's works. Note that this catalogue has been amended several times, leading to numbers followed by a letter, for example D.769a, formerly D.900 (because historical research led to a new probable date of composition).
The compositions of Schubert listed below are grouped generically, by type of composition. Not all thematic groups of Schubert works have a separate numbering that is generally accepted: for example the numbering of the piano sonatas proved particularly cumbersome, see below. Also for the symphonies the numbering from 1 to 10 is only "stable" insofar as no more new symphonies turn up. For most other groups of works there was no real attempt to number them, apart from the general numbering in the Deutsch catalogue.
Less than 100 of Schubert's compositions received an Opus number during Schubert's life: about half of the Opus numbers are posthumous, and give no indication at all regarding a chronological - or any other - order, except regarding the chronological order of publication. By the end of the 19th century no new opus numbers were added; for new publications the Deutsch number was used.
Thematic list of Schubert's compositions
This list gives some better known examples of Schubert's 1000-odd compositions.
Symphonies
- Symphony No. 1 in D major (D.82)
- Symphony No. 2 in B-flat (D.125)
- Symphony No. 3 in D major (D.200)
- Symphony No. 4 in C minor (D.417), the Tragic
- Symphony No. 5 in B-flat (D.485)
- Symphony No. 6 in C major (D.589)
- Symphony No. 7 in E major (D.729): Sketched in full score 1821, with part of the first movement fully orchestrated (performing versions by John Barnett, Felix Weingartner and Brian Newbould)
- Symphony No. 8 in B minor (D.759), the Unfinished - sometimes counted as No. 7
- Symphony No. 9 in C major (D.944), the Great - sometimes counted as No. 7 or No. 8 (see: Curse of the ninth)
- 10th (or "Last") Symphony in D major (elaborated by Brian Newbould from the symphonic sketch D.936a)
- in addition, there was long believed to have been a "Sketch for a Grand Symphony" made at Gastein in 1824. No score of this 'Gastein Symphony' survived, but it was often identified with the Sonata in C major for 2 pianos (D.812, Op. 140) and/or the Octet in F (D.803). Orchestrations of the Sonata, also known as the Grand Duo, were made by Joseph Joachim and others in an attempt to restore this "lost symphony" to the Schubert canon, but it is now known that the 'Grand Symphony' begun in 1824 is the same work as the "Great C major" (cf John Reed, Schubert, The Final Years (London, 1972)).
Music for chamber ensemble
- Piano Quintet in A, The Trout Quintet (D.667) - see also Songs below.
- Quartettsatz (quartet movement) in C minor (D.703)
- Octet in F (D.803)
- String Quartet in A minor, the Rosamunde Quartet (D.804)
- Arpeggione sonata (D.821), for a cello-like new instrument and piano, now generally played on cello.
- String Quartet in D minor, using music of the Death and the Maiden song (D.810)
- String Quartet No. 15 in G (D. 887, Op. 161, 1826)
- Rondeau brilliant for piano and violin (D.895, Op.70)
- Fantasia for piano and violin in C (D.934)
- Two Piano trios (B flat, D.898 - E flat, D.929)
- String Quintet in C (D.956)
Piano solo
The table below concentrates on piano sonatas and other well-known piano pieces that are still regularly heard today. Other piano music by Schubert includes a host of short pieces, most of them German dances, minuets, marches and the like.There is also a considerable number of piano pieces for four hands by Schubert, the Military march being one of the most famous of these.
Legend to the table:
- A, B and C: three different numberings of Schubert's piano sonatas: A is the oldest (referring to the 1888 first "integral" edition of Schubert's sonatas by Breitkopf and Härtel, not making reference to the Deutsch catalogue this edition of Schubert sonatas is reprinted from 1970 on by Dover Publications). As more pieces turned up that could be labelled as Sonata, the numbering extended, also re-numbering some of the pieces that had already been published. Note that in Schubert's lifetime "Fantasie" (Phantasy) and "Sonate" (Sonata) had a somewhat overlapping meaning: by convention the Wanderer Fantasy was never numbered as a sonata, while D. 894 always was.
- U: unfinished work
- numbers 1., 2., etc...: individual movements of the compositions.
- Opus: "(p)" or "posth." indicates a posthumous publication.
