About 612 works in all. Pieces for chamber orchestra, arias, organ concertos, cantatas, oratorios and operas.
A catalog system, HWV (Handel-Werke Verzeichnis) represents all 612 works (pieces), although HWV 1 is not necessarily the first work of Handel anymore than HWV 612 was his last work. The pieces were grouped into musical categories and thus numbered in that manner.
The most common piece that we know of today is the Messiah ... it bears the HWV 56 number, but was not the 56th work he composed.
