6.4.3 Class Numbers for Orchestra, String Orchestra and Band Music Notes

The class numbers for orchestra, string orchestra, and band music (not including works for solo
instrument(s) and orchestra, string orchestra, or band) vary from those for chamber music.
Many individual forms within these ranges are assigned separate numbers. The same class
number is applied to both individual works and collections of works.

M1000-M1075 for orchestra
M1100-M1175 for string orchestra
M1200-M1268 for band (the numbers in this range vary some from the individual numbers
in M1000
M1075 and M1100-M1175)
M1001 = an individual symphony or a collection of symphonies for orchestra
M1101 = an individual symphony or a collection of symphonies for string orchestra

M1201 = an individual symphony or a collection of symphonies for band
M1002 = an individual symphonic poem or a collection of symphonic poems for orchestra
M1102 = an individual symphonic poem or a collection of symphonic poems for string
orchestra

M1202 = an individual symphonic poem or a collection of symphonic poems for band
M1003 = an individual suite, variations or a collection of suites, variations for orchestra

M1103 = an individual suite, variations or a collection of suites, variations for string
orchestra
M1203 = an individual suite, variations or a collection of suites, variations for band

M1004 = an individual overture of a collection of overtures for orchestra
M1104 = an individual overture of a collection of overtures for string orchestra
M1204 = an individual overture of a collection of overtures for band
M1042 = an individual concerto or a collection of concertos for orchestra
M1142 = an individual concerto or a collection of concertos for string orchestra

M1242 = an individual concerto or a collection of concertos for band
Works not in one of these forms fall under the catch-all term “pieces,” although even these have
numbers for individual forms:

M1045 = an individual piece or a collection of pieces for orchestra
M1145 = an individual piece or a collection of pieces for string orchestra
M1245 = an individual piece or a collection of pieces for band

M1046 = an individual march or a collection of marches for orchestra
M1146 = an individual march or a collection of marches for string orchestra
M1247 = an individual march or a collection of marches for band
M1047 = a collection of dances for orchestra
M1147 = a collection of dances for string orchestra
