- Ryom Verzeichnis
The Ryom Verzeichnis or "Répertoire des oeuvres d'Antonio Vivaldi" (both often abbreviated RV) is a partial catalog of the music of
Antonio Vivaldi created byPeter Ryom . The catalog is often used to identify Vivaldi's works by a simple number, e.g. his concerto "La Pastorella " can be indicated by RV 95.Earlier catalogues of Vivaldi's work exist. There were among others the catalogues of Rinaldi (published
Rome ,1944 ) and Pincherle (Paris ,1948 ). When the complete index ofAntonio Fanna was finished (Milan ,1968 ), Ryom had already begun to work on his catalogue; therefore, a supplement appeared with Fanna's catalogue, containing previously unknown items that Ryom had discovered in the meantime. Fanna's catalogue, however, only includes instrumental works.For the sake of concordance, the "Ryom Verzeichnis" provides reference to the numbers of Fanna (F.), Pincherle (P.) and Ricordi.
