Hilding Rosenberg stopped opusnumbering his compositions after
the Four Jewish Songs opus 89 of 1941. The opusnumbers 21 to 89
are quite straight with only two faults (opus 35 and 62),
although there are gaps and not all pieces got a opusnumber.
The opusnumbers 1 to 20 are much more confusing with many entries
under some. A probable explanation is that HR restarted
opusnumbering a couple of times. If that's the case, there are
two early series. The first one running to the piano pieces opus
15 and used until 1915. The second series starting with the 1915
Violin and Piano Sonata in D Minor and running to the opus 17
Symphony in Eb Major or the opus 20 Piano Suite
from 1924. The third (mature) series incorporates some
of the earlier pieces.
I'll make a chronological listing of these opusnumber-series when
more information gets available.
