An opus is usually a work of art, although the term is usually used for musical pieces. If a musician - composer - creates a number of musical pieces but does not give them distinctive names, then they may be numbered and that is the opus number for that piece.

What is the difference between Hob and Opus?

Opus (Latin 'work') numbers are assigned to the compositions of many composers as they are published and/or composed. They may provide a fairly reliable indication of when a work was written, but there is a lot of variation in how they have actually been used. Many composers' works have no opus numbers, or randomly-allocated numbers. Often their compositions have been analysed and catalogued by other people in chronological, or some other logical, order, and those catalogues may take the name of the cataloguer. Hence, for example, Mozart's compositions have Köchel numbers, Haydn's have Hoboken (or Hob) numbers, and Schubert's have Deutsch numbers.

Is fugue an opus?

A fugue is a musical form. An opus is a musical composition. Therefore a fugue is not an opus, nor is an opus a fugue. A composer may compose a fugue and give it an opus number. In that case, a specific fugue is identified by a specific opus number in its composer's catalogue: 'Fugue in G minor for organ, opus 99, by Franz Schnitzelgruber.'
