Felix Horetzky works
The works list below represents my latest work on the works of Felix Horetzky (Feliks Horecki) (1796-1870). Please see my other article on Horetzky which has more biographical information on him. Horetzky republished the same composition with multiple publishers often tracing his movements from Vienna to Paris and then on to London. I have denoted these publications with letters after the opus numbers.
