The "Digital Catalogue of Sources and Works by Liszt (LisztQWV)" closes a gap in music research on the 19th century by listing all sources and works by the composer Franz Liszt (1811-1886) for the first time. On the one hand, it reacts to the desiderata of Liszt research, which so far does not have a complete and reliable list of the composer’s sources and works. On the other hand, it uses the new digital models of relational visualization to make Liszt's flexible concept of a work, which has previously made it difficult to clearly differentiate between work levels and arrangements, productive. As a directory, which is set up as a long-term project over a period of twelve years, it is intended to form a basis for Liszt research and give it lasting impetus, as well as offering the music-interested public a new image of a composer, who has so far been insufficiently contoured. A digital presentation in open access and according to the FAIR principles will not only make the research results freely accessible, but also optimally reusable and connectable.
