The Hilding Rosenberg Pages

- opusnumbers

Hilding Rosenberg stopped opusnumbering his compositions after the Four Jewish Songs opus 89 of 1941. The opusnumbers 21 to 89 are quite straight with only two faults (opus 35 and 62), although there are gaps and not all pieces got a opusnumber.
The opusnumbers 1 to 20 are much more confusing with many entries under some. A probable explanation is that HR restarted opusnumbering a couple of times. If that's the case, there are two early series. The first one running to the piano pieces opus 15 and used until 1915. The second series starting with the 1915 Violin and Piano Sonata in D Minor and running to the opus 17 Symphony in Eb Major or the opus 20 Piano Suite from 1924. The third (mature) series incorporates some of the earlier pieces.
I'll make a chronological listing of these opusnumber-series when more information gets available.
