List of compositions by Béla Bartók
This aspires to be a complete list of compositions by Béla Bartók. The catalogue numbering by András Szőllősy (Sz. ), László Somfai (BB) and Denijs Dille (DD) are provided, as well as Bartók's own opus numbers. Note that Bartók started three times anew with opus numbers, here indicated with "(list 1)", "(list 2)" and "(list 3)" respectively. The pieces from the third listing are by far best known; opus lists 1 and 2 are early works. The year of composition and instrumentation (including voice) are included. See the main article on Béla Bartók for more details. Sortable list by four catalogue numberings, year of composition and instrumentation

List by type of composition

This is a near complete list of compositions by Béla Bartók. Both the more common
András Szöllősy catalogue numbering (Sz.) and the more recent László Somfai catalogue number (BB.) are provided. Where compositions do not have a Sz. numbering, the intermediate Denijs Dille catalogue numbering (DD.) has been provided. See the main article on Béla Bartók for more details. This list does not include early compositions that have since been lost. Stage works
