column		content
1	D '51	Deutsch number in the first version of the Deutsch catalogue (1951)[2]
2	D utd	most recent (utd = up to date) Deutsch catalogue number;[3] the basic collation of the list is according to these numbers – whether or not the possibility to adjust the sorting according to the content of other columns is available depends on the device with which the table is displayed.
3	Op. pbl	Opus number (Op.; p indicates Post. = posthumous) and date of first publication (pbl; between brackets; when there is more than one date the earlier dates indicate partial publications). The column sorts to Opus number, then (earliest of) the publication date(s)
4	AGA	Alte Gesamt-Ausgabe = Franz Schubert's Werke: Kritisch durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe. Indicates genre/instrumentation:[4] Series I: Symphonien (Nos. 1-8) (Johannes Brahms, 1884) Series II: Overtüren und Andere Orchesterwerke (Johann Nepomuk Fuchs, 1886) Series III: Oktette (Nos. 1-3) and IV: Streichquintett (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1889) Series V: Streichquartette (Nos. 1-15) (Joseph Hellmesberger and Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1890) Series VI: Trio für Streichinstrumente (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1892) Series VII: Trios, Quartets and Quintets with Piano and VIII: Pianoforte und Ein Instrument (Ignaz Brüll, 1886) Series IX: Pianoforte zu vier Händen (Anton Door, 1888) Series X: Sonaten für Pianoforte (Julius Epstein, 1888) Series XI: Fantasie, Impromptus und andere Stücke für Pianoforte (Julius Epstein, 1888) Series XII: Tänze für Pianoforte (Nos. 1-31) (Julius Epstein, 1889) Series XIII: Messen (Nos. 1-7) (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1887) Series XIV: Kleinere Kirchenmusikwerke (Nos. 1-22) (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1888) Series XV: Dramatische Musik (Johann Nepomuk Fuchs, 1893) Series XVI: Werke für Männerchor (Nos. 1-46) (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1891) Series XVII: Werke für gemischten Chor (Nos. 1-19) (Josef Gänsbacher, Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1892) Series XVIII: Werke für Drei und mehr Frauenstimmen mit Pianoforte-Begleitung (Nos. 1-6) (Josef Gänsbacher, Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1891) Series XIX: Kleine Gesangswerke (Nos. 1-36) (Josef Gänsbacher and Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1892) Series XX: Sämtliche einstimmige Lieder und Gesänge (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1894-1895) Series XXI: Supplement (Eusebius Mandyczewski, 1897) Instrumentalmusik No. 1-5 Instrumentalmusik No. 6-13 Instrumentalmusik No. 14- Gesangsmusik Series XXII: Revisionsbericht
5	NSA	NGA/NSA/NSE = New Schubert Edition, also indicates genre/instrumentation:[5] Series I: Church Music Series II: Stage Works Series III: Part Songs Series IV: Lieder Series V: Orchestral Works Series VI: Chamber Music Octet and Nonet String Quintet String Quartets I String Quartets II String Quartets III String Trios Works for Piano and several instruments Works for Piano and one instrument Dances for several instruments Series VII: Piano Music Works for Piano Four Hands Works for Piano Two Hands Series VIII: Supplement, 2. Schubert's Studies
6	Name	unique name, with, if available, a link to the relevant encyclopedia article; sorts by name with initial definite ("Der", "Die", "Das", ...) or indefinite ("Ein", "A", ...) articles, and numbers, moved after the expression they qualify: e.g. "Die Hoffnung, ..." sorts as "Hoffnung, Die, ..." – "Thirty Minuets ..." sorts as "Minuets, 30, ...".
7	Key / incipit	incipit mostly for songs[6] (linking to lyrics and their translation, for instance at The LiederNet Archive, when available),[7] other compositions by key, except for Schubert's stage works: type of composition in brackets.
8	Date	(presumed) date of composition, or, for copies and arrangements, date of Schubert's autograph. Sorts to earliest possible date of completion, unlike the chronology of the Deutsch catalogue that generally collates according to earliest date associated with the composition: e.g. Schubert started the composition of his 3rd String Quartet on 19 November 1812 and completed it on 21 February 1813 – in the Deutsch catalogue the composition is grouped with other compositions from 1812: when using the sort function of the 8th column the composition is grouped with compositions completed in 1813
9	Additional info	may include: Information about the text (lyrics,[6][7] libretto) of vocal compositions: e.g., "Text by [text author]", "Text: [standard lyrics]", "... from [literary work]"; "other settings: D ..." indicates Schubert's other settings of the same text; for fields starting with "Text ..." this column sorts by text author (last name, first name—or pen name when such name is more established), then incipit of the lyrics (alternatively, when the incipit is rarely used, title of the work) Information about the authenticity of the composition: the work is without doubt Schubert's unless when marked as "Doubtful", "Spurious?" or "Spurious" (in the last case columns 3–8 give no further information about the composition) Forces needed for performance ("For ..."): may be omitted when the type of composition makes the instrumentation clear (e.g. String Quartet → two violins, viola and cello), and, for vocal music, when the setting is for voice and piano "s", "a", "t" and "b" refer to a single soprano, alto, tenor and bass singer respectively, while "S", "A", "T" and "B" to choral parts for the same types of singers (see SATB). Specifications regarding movements (e.g. "Allegro – Minuet – Rondo") or sections (e.g. "No. 1 ...") Information about the completeness of the extant work: the work is considered complete as extant unless when marked "Sketch", "Incomplete", "Unfinished", "Fragment" or "Lost" Information about versions (e.g. "Two versions: ...")
