This page lists the compositions of Johann Ludwig Krebs as compiled by Felix Friedrich in the Krebs-Werkeverzeichnis (Krebs Works Catalogue).

The catalogue is divided into nine sections by category, with each work assigned a Krebs-WV number (sometimes seen as KrebsWV or KWV in recordings and other sources). Unassigned numbers were left at the end of each section to accommodate future discoveries or attributions while maintaining the category structure.

The order within each category is not chronological, as many of Krebs' works cannot be dated. The order within published collections, such as the Clavier-Übung, was maintained.

Questions of authorship were addressed in several ways. A number of anonymous works were listed in the final section (Krebs-WV 9xx) that have been attributed to Krebs but cannot be verified. There are also a number of works that are ascribed to Krebs and other composers in various sources. These were included in the main sections but noted as such.

The Eight Short Preludes and Fugues, originally attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as BWV 553–560, were not included in the Krebs-WV. The authorship of these pieces has been debated for many years, with Krebs, his father Johann Tobias Krebs and other students of Bach suggested as the true author. Friedrich decided not to include the pieces in the catalogue, noting that recent scholarship, including the critical reports submitted for the New Bach Edition, has viewed Krebs's authorship with extreme doubt, and that no new insights on the issue have emerged in recent years.Friedrich 2009, p. 12

Organ works based on chorales (Krebs-WV 5xx)

Krebs-WV Composition Notes Each work in part I of the Clavier-Übung (500-512) consists of a preambulum, a chorale setting, and a chorale alio modo (melody with b.c.) 500 Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 501 Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 502 Jesu, meine Freude Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 503 Christ lag in Todesbanden Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 504 Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 505 Auf meinen lieben Gott Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 506 Vater unser im Himmelreich Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 507 Sei Lob und Ehr Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 508 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 509 Erbarm dich mein, o Herre Gott Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 510 Von Gott will ich nicht lassen Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 511 Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 512 Jesus, meine Zuversicht Clavier-Übung, part I (publ. 1744) 513 Ach Gott, erhör mein Seufzen 514 * Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder Also attributed to JS Bach and to Gottfried August Homilius. 515 * Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder Anonymous chorale to which Krebs' name was inscribed at a later date. Possibly by Homilius. 516 Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr 517 * Auf meinen lieben Gott Also attributed to JS Bach (BWV 744, Emans 29). 518 Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott 519 Fantasia on Freu dich sehr, o meine Seele 520 * Freu dich sehr, o meine Seele Attributed to Krebs but uncertainty because of 520a. If 520a is by Bach, then perhaps Krebs added the pedals. 520a * Freu dich sehr, o meine Seele (variant, manuals only) Attributed to JS Bach (BWV deest, Emans 72) 521 Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir a 2 Claviere e Pedal 522 Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir per Canonem 523 Herr, ich habe mißgehandelt 524 Fantasia on Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend = BWV Anh.

Previously attributed to Bach (BWV 740) but now generally considered to be by Krebs. 555 Wo soll ich fliehen hin 556 Zeuch ein zu deinen Toren
