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.
