The catalogue makes use of findings from systematic study of sources deposited in music collections mainly in central Europe. Its main portion, containing descriptions of Tomášek's compositions, applies a combination of chronological and systematic arrangement. Works to which Tomášek assigned opus numbers (114 compositions) are arranged chronologically according to those numbers, while those lacking opus numbers (61...
