What is an Opus?
What is an Opus, and how would you correctly label a composition for piano?
Would it start from Opus 1 No.1?
Thank you,
Opus is Latin for Work.
So Opus 1 would be your first piece. but this is largely an arbitrary device use to catalog music, so it can be applied any way you want.
when publishers put a group of pieces together they will often then give them the same opus number. like in Haydn op. 76 No. 1-6. each of these 6 string quartets is opus 76 because they were composed and published together. But keep in mind this is completely arbitrary, they just as easily could have been labeled op. 76-81 and there would be no difference. Separate movements in suites and sonatas and other multi-movement works would all be part of the same opus and No.
Usually Opus numbers are chronological but not always. Keep in mind that when it’s composers making their own opus numbers they aren’t always reliable. Some composers didn’t keep accurate records like Hovahness, so his Opus numbers are not all in chronological order. And sometimes they are out of order for profit. Dvorak sometimes recycled earlier unpublished works and gave them a higher opus number because he thought that would sell more copies of his music.
