Aspekter, for chamber ensemble, op. 72
Bagatelle for violin and piano no. 1

This is an alphabetically ordered list of sub-titles, nicknames and non-numeric titles that have been applied to classical music compositions of types that are normally identified only by some combination of number, key and catalogue number. These types of compositions include: symphony, concerto, sonata, and standard chamber music combinations (strings trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, etc.; piano trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, etc.), among others. A sub-title is a subsidiary name given to a work by the composer, and considered part of its formal title, such as: The Age of Anxiety, the sub-title of Bernstein's Symphony No. 2 Pathétique, the sub-title of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74. A nickname is a name that is not part of the title given by the composer, but has come to be popularly associated with the work, such as: Emperor, the nickname of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 Jupiter, the nickname of Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551. A non-numeric title is a formal title that departs from the usual sequential numbering of works of the same type, such as: Symphonie fantastique by Berlioz and Warsaw Concerto by Addinsell.

Brass Quintet no. 2, op. 136

Along with a concerted effort to commission new works for brass quintet since 1967 the bulk of any brass quintet's repertoire consists of arrangements of pre-existing music. Victor Ewald's four brass quintets are the first serious attempts at establishing a repertoire for the ensemble, though they do not stand up to typical string quartet repertoire of the same and preceding eras. The Chicago and New York Brass Quintets made sustained efforts to commission new works, and much of the original repertoire for brass quintet from the mid-20th century derives from their groundbreaking work. In the 1960s the mantle of creating a repertoire for brass quintet was taken up by the American Brass Quintet and the New York Brass Quintet, with both groups essentially establishing the brass quintet as a part of the chamber music field. Notably, only two brass quintets have ever been awarded the Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award, considered by many to be the highest achievement in brass chamber music: The Empire Brass Quintet in 1976 and The Saturday Brass Quintet in 1990. But it was Canadian Brass that developed the pragmatic approach to repertoire allowed the ensemble to reach a wider audience. They developed a two prong approach to performance, developing a masterpiece approach to repertoire that popularized the brass quintet as an ensemble into what was essentially a "pops" ensemble. Meanwhile, the ensemble has been pursuing an aggressive 45-year commissioning schedule. Though this ensemble is seldom recognized for its achievement in the contemporary sphere, they have created well over 100 newly composed works for brass quintet, though few of the Canadian Brass commissions of original compositions have taken hold in the repertoire of other brass quintets. It is generally agreed amongst brass players that the tuba is the dominant choice for brass quintets, with the ability to play smaller instruments such as bass trombone or baritone for certain repertoire such as Renaissance. The American Brass Quintet has always used bass trombone instead of tuba, and their extensive commissioning has validated use of this instrumentation. It is not uncommon for composers to write interchangeable parts for tuba and bass trombone to enable both types of quintets to perform their work.

Eco, for chamber ensemble, op. 186

A clarinet–cello–piano trio is a clarinet trio made up of one clarinet, one cello, and one piano, or the name of a piece written for such a group. This formation is similar to the classical piano trio except that the violin is replaced by the clarinet. The heterogeneity of timbre between clarinet and cello prevents their use as a block against the piano, but it offers many other musical possibilities. Long-lived trios (such as the Trio Montecino) are very rare, but the literature is performed by subsets of Pierrot lunaire and Quartet for the End of Time ensembles, such as Tashi, as well as by ad hoc groups.

Guitar Sonata no. 1, op. 141

Guitar Sonata no. 2, op. 142

This article lists the classical guitar music in the classical guitar repertoire. It includes baroque guitar and vihuela music, but not lute music. This music is most commonly performed by classical guitarists and requires the use of a variety of classical guitar techniques to play. During the Renaissance, the guitar was likely to have been used as it frequently is today in popular music, that is to provide strummed accompaniment for a singer or a small group. There also were several significant music collections published during the 16th century of contrapuntal compositions approaching the complexity, sophistication and breadth of lute music from the same period. Most Renaissance lute music has been transcribed for guitar (see List of composers for lute). The baroque guitar (c.1600–1750) was a string instrument with five courses of gut strings and moveable gut frets. The first (highest pitched) course was sometimes a single string. It replaced the Renaissance lute as the most common instrument found in the home. The romantic guitar, in use from approximately 1790 to 1830, was the guitar of the Classical and Romantic period of music, showing remarkable consistency in the instrument's construction during these decades. By this time guitars used six, sometimes more, single strings instead of courses. The romantic guitar eventually led to a different type of guitar in Spain: the fan-braced Spanish guitars of Torres, which may be seen as the immediate precursor of the modern classical guitar. In the 20th century, many non-guitarist composers wrote for the instrument, whereas previously only players of the instrument had done so.

Sextet, for chamber ensemble, op. 114

Chamber music is a form of classical music that is composed for a small group of instruments—traditionally a group that could fit in a palace chamber or a large room. Most broadly, it includes any art music that is performed by a small number of performers, with one performer to a part (in contrast to orchestral music, in which each string part is played by a number of performers). However, by convention, it usually does not include solo instrument performances. Because of its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as "the music of friends". For more than 100 years, chamber music was played primarily by amateur musicians in their homes, and even today, when chamber music performance has migrated from the home to the concert hall, many musicians, amateur and professional, still play chamber music for their own pleasure. Playing chamber music requires special skills, both musical and social, that differ from the skills required for playing solo or symphonic works. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe described chamber music (specifically, string quartet music) as "four rational people conversing". This conversational paradigm – which refers to the way one instrument introduces a melody or motif and then other instruments subsequently "respond" with a similar motif – has been a thread woven through the history of chamber music composition from the end of the 18th century to the present. The analogy to conversation recurs in descriptions and analyses of chamber music compositions.

A nickname is a name that is not part of the title given by the composer, but has come to be popularly associated with the work, such as: Emperor, the nickname of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 Jupiter, the nickname of Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551. A non-numeric title is a formal title that departs from the usual sequential numbering of works of the same type, such as: Symphonie fantastique by Berlioz and Warsaw Concerto by Addinsell.

Sonata for solo cello, op. 101

A cello sonata is a piece written in sonata form, often with the instrumentation of a cello taking solo role with piano accompaniment.

The following list contains cello sonatas with or without accompanying instruments. See the See also list for more comprehensive lists divided up into solo and accompanied works.

A non-numeric title is a formal title that departs from the usual sequential numbering of works of the same type, such as: Symphonie fantastique by Berlioz and Warsaw Concerto by Addinsell.
