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.

My article on Horetzky with a facsimile of his Quatre Variations, Op. 22, recently appeared in the GFA Soundboard Volume XXXVII, No. 4. NOTE: I have updated this post with translations from Powrozniak, Bartkowski, Horetzky’s family and my comprehensive compositions list.
