From the hand of the important Austrian composer Anton Bruckner there exists no complete list of his works. For a long time, it was not possible to systematically record all of Bruckner`s works, since many are not mentioned in his own enumerations. A first attempt at a complete overview of Bruckner`s oeuvre was made by Renate Grasberger in 1974, and the main task of the project presented here was to rework Grasberger`s rather provisional catalogue of his works. In order not to cause confusion either in the referring research literature or in the data management in library systems or in the music industry, the work numbers introduced and proven by Grasberger were predominantly retained. On this basis, a new system of works was developed, which in turn represents an expansion by further important categories in comparison to the older system. Starting from the 149 works listed in the older catalogue of works, the new catalogue has been expanded to include more than 300 works, whereby autograph sketches, study materials, copies and adaptations are also taken into account. A novelty of the new catalogue of works is the consideration of polyphonic note incipits, in the case of multi-part works also for the beginning of each section. In time for the Bruckner anniversary year 2024 (200th birthday), the new catalogue is to be published in two volumes by the Hollitzer publishing house. The dataset is based on the preliminary projects "bruckner-online.at" and "Digitales Werkverzeichnis Anton Bruckner" funded by the FWF and carried out by the Department of Musicology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The new catalogue of works will then be available in printed form in addition to the digital online edition.
