List of compositions by Geirr Tveitt
This a list of compositions by the 20th century Norwegian composer Geirr Tveitt. Since a sizable corpus of his works are lost, and since there are pieces that have been assigned an Opus number, but without names, pieces will be presented here as that.
By Opus number
| Name | Opus | Instruments/voices used | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three sonatas for Solo Violin (lost) | 1 | Solo Violin | In and interview for NRK 14 February 1977, Tveitt claims that the first Opus wasn't for piano, but for violin. He mentions that his first Opus was "Two-part Slått for piano". "12 Two-part Inventions for piano" was published and is now known as Op. 1, most likely because it was his first work which was published. |

| Aeolian Harp | 132 | Piano | Although a recording of Tveitt himself playing the piece exists, it differs radically from the only known, existent autograph score. It is possible that the recording is based off of a later version of this piece which did not survive the fire, since the recording was made a few years after the score was completed. If this is true, then the final version of the piece is lost. |
