Hoboken, Anthony van (1887-1983)

Dutch musicologist. He studied in Frankfurt, Germany, and Vienna, Austria, and in 1927 founded a manuscript archive in the National Library in Vienna; an almost complete thematic catalogue of Haydn's works was published in 1957 and 1971. Haydn's works are commonly designated ‘Hob.’ with a roman numeral denoting group classification (for example opera, symphony), followed by an Arabic numeral for a work within a group.
