A lot of prolific composers didn't use opus numbers for most (Schubert)For now, excluding contemporary composers (Like Stephen W. Beatty with his Op.3169 currently) and joke/comedy (Like the PDQ Bach as mentioned below.)
or all (Bach) of their compositions. I was wondering, of those composers
who did use opus numbers, who made it to the highest number? The highest
I can think of is Czerny, who got up to Op. 861. Of people I can
think of immediately, Milhaud (Op. 441) comes in a distant second,
although I think that there are other Czerny-esque composers (of
exercises and such) who also got into big numbers. Does anyone out
there know of any composers who got to an opus number bigger than 861?
