List of compositions by César Cui

(Note: A few of Cui's compositions, especially from the end of his life, remain only in manuscript in the Russian National Library, if not also elsewhere, and have yet to be published; likewise with the full orchestral scores of several of the operas. The provenance of Opp. 102, 103, and 105 is unknown.)
