Nikolaus-Quintz-Werke-Verzeichnis (NWV)

The Nikolaus-Quintz-Werke-Verzeichnis (NWV) is the official chronological catalogue of works composed by Johann Nikolaus Quintz. The numbering system was created by Quintz to easily catalogue each work, which takes inspiration from other catalogues such as The Köchel Catalogue or even The Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV). This comprehensive catalogue organizes compositions by title, date, key, and additional details when available, providing a unique NWV number for each work. The NWV encompasses a variety of musical forms, including orchestral works (such as symphonies), chamber music (including trio sonatas, string quartets, and divertimenti), and solo keyboard pieces. These works demonstrate Quintz in multiple genres, showcasing his transitions from the Baroque style into the early Classical style. By providing a clear structure, the NWV allows for easier access to his compositions, specifically through IMSLP in this instance.

The table below gives the following information:

  • NWV — chronological number reference for each work.
  • Title — as used on IMSLP.
  • Key — the principal key of the work.
  • Date — the year of composition.
  • Genre — the genre of the work such as Symphony or Trio Sonata.
  • Instrumentation— the instrumentation used (see IMSLP:Abbreviations for Instruments).
  • Notes — concerning related works, important information about the piece, etc.

The list will expand with every new composition.
