Werkverzeichnis Anton Bruckner

The Werkverzeichnis Anton Bruckners (WAB) is a thematic catalogue of the music of Anton Bruckner compiled by Renata Grasberger. Grasberger did not include any unfinished compositions (making an important exception for the Ninth Symphony) nor lost works. Lost works, sketches, etc. were added afterwards (WAB 132 to WAB 149). Some other, still unclassified works are identified as WAB deest.

Like Perger's catalogue of Michael Haydn's music, the WAB uses a single range of numbers divided into subranges for genre classification:

The catalog is contrived so that the WAB numbers for the symphonies are the same as the symphony number plus 100 (thus technically the Study Symphony in F minor is No. −1 rather than No. 00). Quite unlike Köchel and Perger, Grasberger made no attempt whatsoever at figuring out chronology; instead she sorted the compositions alphabetically by title (and occasionally numerically, such as with the Psalms) within each of the subranges. For a few of the pieces, Grasberger used an alternate title which is less used today.
