Haydn's works are often referred to by their "Hoboken number" (usually abbreviated to "Hob"), taken from this catalogue.
Unlike Ludwig von Köchel's catalogue of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's works, or Otto Erich Deutsch[?]'s catalogue of Franz Schubert's works, which are both arranged chronologically by date of composition, Hoboken's catalogue, like Wolfgang Schmieder[?]'s catalogue of Johann Sebastian Bach's works, is arranged by form of work.
All the symphonies, for example, are in category I, all string quartets are in category III, piano sonatas are in category XVI, and so on.

 BWV
The numbers were assigned by Wolfgang Schmieder in 1950, indicating the placement in the catalogue of Bach's works entitled Thematisch-Systemattisches Verzeichnis der musikalischen Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach.
The BWV numbers are universally used and accepted as the standard way of numbering the works of Bach, for example: "Mass in B minor, BWV 232, composed in 1733".
Unlike some other catalogues which are arranged chronologically, Schmieder's is arranged by type of work, so that choral works come first, then works for organ, then other keyboard works, and so on.

 Johann Sebastian Bach - List of Works   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Between 1946 and 1950 Dr. Wolfgang Schmieder compiled a numerical listing of Bach's opus according to musical forms.
Schmieder assigned a BWV number (Bach Werk Verzeichnis) to each work, and this idea was so successful, that most of Bach's works are now known not only through their title but also through their BWV number.
In the event that you want more detailed information about Bach's works, please consult a copy of Schmieder's book in a local library.

 BWV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis ("Bach Works Catalogue") is the numbering system used to identify musical works by Johann Sebastian Bach, grouped thematically, not chronologically.
At times the BWV numbers are called Schmieder numbers.
The Bach Gesellschaft had been publishing Bach's works since 1851; these existing publications had grouped Bach's works by genre (or musical form), so listing according to this established practice was less confusing.

Bach used the dramatic and musical language of Baroque opera as the basis of many of his cantatas, and BWV 51 is no exception.
(The BWV numbers come from the Bach Werke Verzeichnis, or Bach works catalog, prepared by German musicologist Wolfgang Schmieder in 1950.) The work opens with an aria clearly inspired by the heroic type in early 18th-century opera, with the trumpet as prominent as the soprano and solos for violin as well.
The second aria grows out of this passage, employing the same texture (voice and continuo) and a dogged siciliano rhythm.

While the traditional opus term is the latin for work - compositions by Bach are referred to using unique terms -we often hear of Bach's Keyboard Concerto BWV 1054 or Cantata BWV 75.

This got underway with two parts of Bach's Christmas Oratorio, S.248.
Although called an oratorio and listed among the "Passionen und Oratorien" by Wolfgang Schmieder, the work is basically six church cantatas for the Christmas season.
The pieces are for SATB soloists and chorus (a countertenor – male alto – on this occasion took the second solo part), but the instrumentation varies from cantata to cantata in a manner that suggests the varied orchestrations of the Brandenburg Concerti.
