Telemann-Werke-Verzeichnis

The Telemann-Werke-Verzeichnis (Telemann Works Catalogue), abbreviated TWV, is the numbering system identifying compositions by Georg Philipp Telemann, published by musicologist Martin Ruhnke.

The prefix TWV is generally followed by a genre number, a letter indicating the key (in some cases), and a work number. The genre number indicates the general type or medium of the work. A major key is in upper case, a minor key in lower case. The second number is the work's number within the genre. For example, Telemann's Concerto polonois in B flat major for strings and basso continuo is TWV 43:B3. His Orchestral suite in D major is TWV 55:D18, and his Overture in G minor is TWV 55:g4.

Vocal works were catalogued in a similar way by Werner Menke in the Telemann-Vokalwerke-Verzeichnis (Telemann Vocal Works Catalogue), abbreviated TVWV. For example, Telemann's Johannes-Passion is TVWV 5:42. His Times of the Day cantata is TVWV 20:39.

gollark: > an additional rule change:> submissions should be your own original work. it is discouraged (though allowed) to take code from external sources such as the internet, and it is no longer allowed to submit original code written by any other member of the server after the round started.What if I just describe my code to someone in detail and have them rewrite it?
gollark: I see.
gollark: Why not just average % after subtracting 1?
gollark: But that means your guessing skill will appear higher on rounds with more people probably maybe.
