This page lists all the section titles used by Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji in his multi-movement works, most of which are large-scale compositions. The information is arranged in six columns as follows.

• Section Title: Lists all the variants used by the composer unless the only difference is the use of a hyphen. Fuga includes all the fugues labelled duplex, triplex, etc. The part or movement identified by a section title is not given, but the variation or etude number is.
• Works (Titles): Lists, in chronological order, all the titles of the works bearing a given section title. The number of the movement bearing the title shown in the first column is given in Roman numerals (in square brackets if there is no label). Numbers are omitted when the positions can be deduced from the titles.
• Works (N): Indicates the number of works listed in the second column.
• First Use: Shows the year in which Sorabji completed the first listed work. This makes it possible to see at a glance the order in which he introduced terms into his lists of contents.
• Language: Indicates the language (English, French, Italian, Latin). Habanera is considered to be fully absorbed into English to avoid creating a Spanish category for a single item.
• Category: Suggests a category under which a given item can be grouped. Some section titles may be listed under more than one category, so the suggested labels should not be considered definitive. Seven categories are used:
  • Contrapuntal writing
  • Dance form
  • Programme music
  • Song form
  • Standard form
  • Variation form
  • Virtuosity

Although they may seem less relevant, the section titles found in Sorabji’s transcriptions of works by other composers are included. On the other hand, section titles that are equivalent to a tempo indication are not included.

For Sorabji’s incorrect use of “punta d’organo”, which should be “pedale costante”, see the detailed note in the introduction to Opus sorabjianum.
