Biamonti Catalog: In 1968, Prof. Giovanni Biamonti of Rome published his Catologo Tematico of the works of Beethoven. Biamonti’s numbering scheme runs in what he believed to be the chronological order of composition. His catalog numbers 849 items, which includes all of the items with Opus numbers, Kinsky-Halm numbers and Hess numbers, plus several hundred additional items. Biamonti was even more inclusive than Hess in counting fragmentary works, but he also lists a few items which are more-or-less complete works which had been missed by the earlier cataloguers. Because the Biamonti catalog is not readily accessible, items are generally listed here by Biamonti number only if they have no Opus, WoO or Hess number assigned to them.
