Hello! I'm going to introduce how to call name of classical songs.
A name consists of :
1. A kind of the song and its number like symphony, concerto, etc., following by the number of the song composer assigned.
2. Scale - Example: C major, C minor, etc. Necessary for orchestra for which key they have to play.
3. Catalogue number Mostly use Opus, abbreviated to Op. Assigned by order of publishing. Also, in each publishing, if there are many compositions to publish together, another number will be added after opus number. This number helps you to discriminate compositions because there maybe a song has another one which has the same name.
However, some composers didn't assigned opus number, especially Baroque and Classical composers. Example: Mozart's compositions are assigned to KV, Kochel-Verzeichnis, named after Ludwig von Kochel, who made Mozart's songs catalogue.
4. Name of composer
Example
- Symphony No.5 in C minor, Op. 67 by Beethoven
- Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, KV. 467 by Mozart
- Prelude in E minor, Op. 28 No.4 by Chopin Notice that many preludes in Op.28, so it has another number after opus number.
Some compositions have specific name, so you can call the kind of name of the song, too. Example: Symphony No.6 in F major, Op. 68 "Pastoral" by Beethoven or Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven.
