This is a selected list of compositions by Alexander Mosolov. It includes all works with an opus number regardless of the date of publication as well as all known works composed before 1936, as it has been noted that it was "impossible to discern the former avant-gardist in the works written from the late thirties onward" (Frolova-Walker 1998, p. 336n8).
