Krebs‑WV
This page lists the compositions of Johann Ludwig Krebs as compiled by Felix Friedrich in the Krebs-Werkeverzeichnis (Krebs Works Catalogue). The catalogue is divided into nine sections by category, with each work assigned a Krebs-WV number (sometimes seen as KrebsWV or KWV in recordings and other sources). Unassigned numbers were left at the end of each section to accommodate future discoveries or attributions while maintaining the category structure. The order within each category is not chronological, as many of Krebs' works cannot be dated. The order within published collections, such as the ''Clavier-Übung'', was maintained. Questions of authorship were addressed in several ways. A number of anonymous works were listed in the final section (Krebs-WV 9xx) that have been attributed to Krebs but cannot be verified. There are also a number of works that are ascribed to Krebs and other composers in various sources. These were included in the main sections but noted as such. ...

Johann Ludwig Krebs
Johann Ludwig Krebs (baptized 12 October 1713 – 1 January 1780) was a German Baroque musician and composer for the pipe organ, harpsichord, other instruments and orchestras. His output also included chamber music, choral works and concertos. Life Krebs was born in 1713 in Buttelstedt to Johann Tobias Krebs, an organist. At least three of his brothers were musically talented. Krebs was sent to Leipzig to study organ, lute, and the violin. Krebs studied with Johann Sebastian Bach on the organ.

Krebs took a small post in Zwickau, and in 1755 (five years after the death of Bach, which is normally referred to as the end of the Baroque period) he wa ...
