WoO refers to "work without opus number." The number following this designation is the number given in George Kinsky's thematic list of the complete works of Beethoven.

Anh. refers to Anhang, meaning "Appendix." These works are listed in the Appendix of the same catalog. Kinsky's study gives a chronological listing of all of Beethoven's works, assigning numbers to those for which Beethoven himself did not assign an opus number.
