Note
Songs for soprano and piano (1st-5th, 7th-9th, 11th-13th, and 15th-17th works) or piano solo (remainder).
The serial and op. nos. associated with the Lieder ohne Worte are misleading; for example: the "no. 2 in G major" was published at different times as "op. 2, no. 1" and "op. 2, no. 2." Cf. front matter in: Hensel, F. Songs for pianoforte, 1836-1837 (Recent researches in the music of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ; v. 22) (Madison, Wis. : A-R Editions, 1994).
