Nielsen Works
The FS numbers are taken from the 1965 item catalog by Dan
Fog and Torben Schousboe. They are the standard reference number
because the opus numbers are very inaccurate. Nielsen also wrote
many songs in Danish but because of their limited relavancy to
English speakers I have omitted them. DB
