List of compositions by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach explained

This is a list of compositions by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. It is sorted by H (Helm) numbers, but the corresponding Wq. (Wotquenne) numbers are also shown.

C. P. E. Bach's works have been catalogued in different ways. The first comprehensive catalogue was that by Alfred Wotquenne first published in 1905,[1] and this led to Wq. numbers being used. In 1989, E. Eugene Helm produced a revised catalogue, and H numbers are now also used.

The catalogue assignment numbers listed here conform to an accepted concordance found between Wq. numbers and H numbers.[2] They do not, however, reflect parallel chronologies in Bach's works. The catalogue of Helm is now the preferred one for the works of C. P. E. Bach. This listing also substantially conforms to the works given by Grove Music Online.[3] The new complete edition of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's works[4] surpasses any other earlier organizational efforts in dating and cataloguing the enormous output of C. P. E. Bach.
