===Publication – catalogue=== [[File:Schubert Haus00.jpg|thumb|Interior of museum at Schubert's birthplace, Vienna, 1914]] When Schubert died he had around 100 [[opus number]]s published, mainly songs, chamber music and smaller piano compositions.<ref>Deutsch 1978, p. 668{{incomplete short citation|date=January 2022}}</ref> Publication of smaller pieces continued (including opus numbers up to 173 in the 1860s, 50 instalments with songs published by [[Diabelli]] and dozens of first publications [[Edition Peters|Peters]]),<ref>Deutsch 1978, pp. 668–669{{incomplete short citation|date=January 2022}}</ref> but the manuscripts of many of the longer works, whose existence was not widely known, remained hidden in cabinets and file boxes of Schubert's family, friends, and publishers.<ref name="GroveAppendix"/> Even some of Schubert's friends were unaware of the full scope of what he wrote, and for many years he was primarily recognized as the "prince of song", although there was recognition of some of his larger-scale efforts.<ref name="GibbsLife61">[[#GibbsLife|Gibbs (2000)]], pp. 61–62</ref> In 1838 [[Robert Schumann]], on a visit to Vienna, found the dusty manuscript of the [[Symphony No. 9 (Schubert)|C major Symphony]] (D. 944) and took it back to [[Leipzig]] where it was performed by [[Felix Mendelssohn]] and celebrated in the ''[[Neue Zeitschrift für Musik|Neue Zeitschrift]].'' An important step towards the recovery of the neglected works was the journey to Vienna which the music historian [[George Grove]] and the composer [[Arthur Sullivan]] made in October 1867.{{sfn|Hadow|1911|p=385}} The travellers unearthed the manuscripts of six of the symphonies, parts of the incidental music to ''[[Rosamunde]]'', the [[Mass No. 1 (Schubert)|Mass No. 1 in F major]] (D. 105), and the operas ''Des Teufels Lustschloss'' (D. 84), ''Fernardo'' (D. 220), ''[[Der vierjährige Posten]]'' (D. 190), and ''[[Die Freunde von Salamanka]]'' (D. 326), and several other unnamed works. With these discoveries, Grove and Sullivan were able to inform the public of the existence of these works; in addition, they were able to copy the fourth and sixth symphonies, the ''Rosamunde'' incidental music, and the overture to ''Die Freunde von Salamanka''.<ref name="GroveAppendix">[[#Kreissle2|Kreissle (1869)]], pp. 297–332, in which Grove recounts his visit to Vienna.</ref> This led to more widespread public interest in Schubert's work.<ref name="WideInterest">See e.g. [[#Kreissle2|Kreissle (1869)]], p. 324, where Grove describes current (1860s) interest in Schubert's work, and [[#CambridgeCompanion|Gibbs (1997)]], pp. 250–251, describing the size and scope of the 1897 Schubert centennial commemorations.</ref> ====Complete editions==== [[File:Litograph of Franz Schubert by Josef Kriehuber (1846).png|thumb|upright|Lithograph of Franz Schubert by [[Josef Kriehuber]] (1846)]] {{see also|Franz Schubert's Works|Neue Schubert-Ausgabe}} From 1884 to 1897, [[Breitkopf & Härtel]] published [[Franz Schubert's Works]], a critical edition including a contribution made – among others – by [[Johannes Brahms]], editor of the first series containing eight symphonies.<ref>[[#STC|Deutsch (1995)]], p. xiii</ref> The publication of the [[Neue Schubert-Ausgabe]] by [[Bärenreiter]] started in the second half of the 20th century.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baerenreiter.com/en/publishing-house/baerenreiter-encyclopedia/new-schubert-edition/|title=Neue Schubert-Ausgabe|publisher=[[Bärenreiter Verlag]]|access-date=20 July 2018|archive-date=20 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720135654/https://www.baerenreiter.com/en/publishing-house/baerenreiter-encyclopedia/new-schubert-edition/|url-status=dead}}</ref> ====Deutsch catalogue==== {{see also|Schubert Thematic Catalogue|Schubert opus/Deutsch number concordance|List of compositions by Franz Schubert}} Since relatively few of Schubert's works were published in his lifetime, only a small number of them have [[opus number]]s assigned, and even in those cases, the sequence of the numbers does not give a good indication of the order of composition. Austrian [[musicologist]] [[Otto Erich Deutsch]] (1883–1967) is known for compiling the first comprehensive catalogue of Schubert's works. This was first published in English in 1951 (''[[Schubert Thematic Catalogue]]'') and subsequently revised for a new edition in German in 1978 (''[[Franz Schubert: Thematisches Verzeichnis seiner Werke in chronologischer Folge]]'' – Franz Schubert: Thematic Catalogue of his Works in Chronological Order).<ref>See [[#STC|Deutsch (1995)]]</ref> ====Numbering issues==== {{see also|Schubert's symphonies#Numbering issues|Sonatas, duos and fantasies by Franz Schubert#Numbering of the Piano Sonatas}} Confusion arose quite early over the [[Schubert's symphonies#Numbering issues|numbering of Schubert's late symphonies]]. Schubert's last completed symphony, the ''Great C major'' {{D.|number=944}}, was assigned the numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10, depending on publication. Similarly the ''Unfinished'' {{D.|number=759}} has been indicated with the numbers 7, 8, and 9.<ref name=numbering>See [[#Numbering of symphonies]]</ref> The order usually followed for these late symphonies by English-language sources is: *No. 7: [[Symphony No. 7 (Schubert)|E major]], D 729 *No. 8: [[Symphony No. 8 (Schubert)|B minor]], D 759 ''Unfinished'' *No. 9: [[Symphony No. 9 (Schubert)|C major]], D 944 ''Great C major'' *No. 10: [[Symphony No. 10 (Schubert)|D major]], D 936A An even broader confusion arose over the [[Sonatas, duos and fantasies by Franz Schubert#Numbering of the Piano Sonatas|numbering of the piano sonatas]], with numbering systems ranging from 15 to 23 sonatas.
