Hennenberg numbers for Stölzel ⟨User:Notenschreiber [#8070]

I've nearly completed the book of 16 Cantatas by Stölzel. Now are there are two more books of 26 and 51 cantatas I will start on. Do you think I should be using the Hennenberg Catalogue numbers for these works? RISM gives them for all cantatas except the book of 51. From what I can find (not much), Hennenbergs 1976 catalogue was not totally complete, but there is a later revision which does list all of Stölzel's known cantatas. I will have access to his thesis is a couple of weeks, so I can check this.

If so, what abbreviation should I use? Ich will wiederkommen, HenS 331 or Ich will wiederkommen, H.331?

I couldn't find any examples of where his catalogue numbers have been used in recordings or publication but if all of his cantatas have been given numbers then it might be good to introduce them here, especially as there are over 900 of them.

Since these Hennenberg numbers are not established as catalogue numbers for Stölzel´s cantatas, it is perhaps better, not to use an abbreviation. On the other hand, you can explain the abbeviation on the workpage, and H.331 is a little bit simpler. My friend Werner Jaksch, who edited this cantata last week have access to Henenbergs catalogue, i can ask him next week. BTW, for last cantata of the 16 there is no Hennenberg entry in RISM, isn´t it?

You probably know this site: http://www.stoelzel.net/. It seems, that only cantatas frm Sondernhausen are listed there.
