List of compositions by Franz Schubert

This is a partial list of compositions by Franz Schubert
, organised by their genre. A complete list of Schubert's works arranged by "D number" (see below), is available in the following two articles:
, who created a catalogue of Schubert's works listed chronologically by composition date. This catalogue has been amended several times because historical research led to a new probable date of composition, leading to numbers followed by a letter: for example D 769a, formerly D 900.
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.
Fewer 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.
(now No. 8, the Unfinished) and drafted part of a third movement; whether or not he had drafted a finale remains moot. In 1825–26 he completed a large symphony in C major
(now No. 9, the Great). There are in addition numerous sketches and fragments for other symphonies, and in the 1970s it was realized that these included the nearly-complete draft of a three-movement Symphony in D from the summer and autumn of 1828. A performing version of this work was orchestrated by Brian Newbould as Symphony No. 10
.
The first Schubert Symphony to be performed was the Great: this was designated by Schubert’s brother Ferdinand as "No. 7" as early as the 1830s. In the 1840s the thematic catalogue of Schubert's works prepared by Alois Fuchs accepted this numbering and also called the drafted E major symphony "No. 8". The two completed movements of the B minor symphony were not performed until 1865, and it was George Grove
who decided that this symphony—the Unfinished—should be No. 8, with the E major dropping to No. 7 and the Great C major becoming No. 9. Though this has been the preferred numbering ever since, not least because it respects the chronological order of these works, the old numbering of the Great C major as No. 7 has been remarkably persistent and is still sometimes encountered. In addition to this the revised Deutsch catalogue edited by Walter Dürr and Arnold Fell has proposed that the E major Symphony should have no number, that the Unfinished should be called "No. 7" and the Great C major "No. 8".

The numbering of Schubert's symphonies
Between 1813 and 1818 Schubert wrote six symphonies, now known as Nos. 1–6.

In 1822 he composed and orchestrated two movements of a symphony in B minorSymphony No. 8 (Schubert)
Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor , commonly known as the "Unfinished Symphony" , D.759, was started in 1822 but left with only two movements known to be complete, even though Schubert would live for another six years. A scherzo, nearly completed in piano score but with only two pages...
