{{Redirect|Hob.||Hob (disambiguation)}}
The '''Hoboken catalogue''' is a catalogue of the musical compositions by [[Joseph Haydn]] compiled by [[Anthony van Hoboken]]. It is intended to cover the composer's entire oeuvre and includes over 750 entries. Its full title in the original German is ''Joseph Haydn, Thematisch-bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis'' ("Joseph Haydn, thematic-bibliographic catalogue of works"). The Haydn catalogue that now bears Hoboken's name was begun in card format in 1934; work continued until the publication of the third and final book volume in 1978.

Works by Haydn are often indicated using their Hoboken catalogue number, typically in the format "[[Violin Concerto No. 1 (Haydn)|Violin Concerto No. 1]] in C major, Hob. VIIa:1".

==The catalogue==
The catalogue is a massive work; a currently available version runs to 1936 pages.<ref>Available in pdf format from [https://archive.org/details/JosephHaydnThematisch-bibliographischesWerkverzeichnis].</ref> Each work is given with an identifying [[incipit]], printed on a single musical line. There is discussion of manuscript sources, early editions, listing in previous catalogues (including the two Haydn prepared), and critical commentary.

==Organization==

Catalogues of composers' works typically follow either a chronological arrangement (sorting by date of composition) or a sorting by musical genre.<ref>Examples of the chronological type are [[Köchel catalogue]] of [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]]'s works, or [[List of compositions by Franz Schubert#Works listed in the Deutsch catalogue|Deutsch catalogue]] of [[Franz Schubert|Schubert]]'s works. Another examples of the genre-arranged type are [[Wolfgang Schmieder|Schmieder]]'s catalogue ([[Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis|BWV]]) of [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]]'s works, or [[Bernd Baselt|Baselt]]'s catalogue ([[Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis|HWV]]) of [[George Frideric Handel|Handel]]'s works.</ref> Hoboken's catalogue is of the latter type; thus the [[Symphony|symphonies]], for example, are in category I, all [[string quartet]]s are in category III, [[piano sonata]]s are in category XVI, and so on.
