List of compositions by Johann Jakob Froberger


This is a list of compositions by Johann Jakob Froberger, taken from the Froberger Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke, edited by Siegbert Rampe. The list is organized by genres, in a way that makes adding newly found pieces easier than in most other work-lists: numbers 1xx are reserved for toccatas, numbers 2xx for fantasias, etc.
Within each section, Rampe has retained the order of the DTÖ numbers, which were assigned by Guido Adler in the early 20th century Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich series. For example, DTÖ Canzona No. 4 is FbWV 304, DTÖ Suite No. 7 is FbWV 607, etc. Adler, in turn, had followed the ordering in the composer's autograph manuscripts known at the time.
Many works listed here are of uncertain attribution. New manuscripts containing Froberger's music are found occasionally, 5 suites and three "laments" ; this list lacks some recently identified pieces as well as others that have been attributed to Froberger.
