Catalogue of works and discography

The publisher and date are for the original edition. All Medtner's works except the Op 19 and Op 19a songs were subsequently republished in the Medtner Collected Edition by Moscow State Music Publishers in 1959-1963. Some in-between editions have revisions to the original; these are mentioned in the textual comparisons provided for some works.

For individual works I have listed currently available printed music editions. Freely available digital sheet music is available for all published works, mostly scans of the Collected Edition or later Soviet editions based on it. All Medtner's published works are out of copyright with the possible exception of a few late works in the USA.

Recordings include all sound formats.
