From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
