The handlist is available as PDFa, and the text is also reproduced below. To assist in finding resources on this website we have added hyperlinks where possible to pages with more information, recordings, and scores; we have also corrected a few errors in the Handlist; all additions and corrections are annotated in braces {...}. Because this web page acts as an index to Peter Tranchell's works, and in particular those we have typeset and published, for completeness we have added a section for 'Works not included in the Classified Handlist'.
