The
Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis (abbreviated as
HWV) is the
Catalogue of Handel's Works. It was published in three volumes (in German) by
Bernd Baselt between 1978 and 1986, and lists every piece of music known to have been written by
George Frideric Handel. The catalogue also includes the first few bars of each piece and large amounts of factual information including manuscript sources, early prints, photographs, spurious works, etc. The catalogue does not include the full scores of Handel's works (for the full scores, see
Händel-Gesellschaft and
Hallische Händel-Ausgabe).
