List of compositions by Felix Mendelssohn

(Note: the list includes works which were published posthumously and given opus numbers after the composer's death.

Only the opus numbers 1 to 72 were assigned by Mendelssohn, the later ones by publishers.

The opus number sequence does not therefore always accord with the order of composition).

The list also includes the Mendelssohn-Werkverzeichnis classification code (MWV).

Mendelssohn composed several chorale cantatas, several on Lutheran hymns:
