The opus numbers of Beethoven's pieces were assigned by his publishers, and follow the order in which his works were published, rather than the order they were written. This is why, for example, the Wind Octet of 1792 can be Opus 103, when Opus 102 and Opus 104 were written in 1815 and 1817 respectively. Everything on this list up to Opus 135 was published in Beethoven's lifetime. The remaining items were published posthumously.
