An opus is a term used to identify a particular musical work by a composer, with each opus usually assigned a number that reflects the order in which it was composed. This numbering helps organize and catalog a composer’s body of work, especially when they have created many pieces. For example, Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" is also known as "Opus 67," indicating it is the 67th work in his catalog. The use of "opus" provides a way to organize and reference a composer's compositions systematically.
