Commercial release of SchefferSchaeffer's work was limited at best; Schaeffer released his work to the public primarily to disseminate a new and [[avant-garde]] form of music. The original production of his marketed work was done by the "''Groupe de Recherches Musicales''" (a.k.a. GRM; now owned and operated by INA or the ''[[Institut national de l'audiovisuel]]''), the company which he initially had formed around his creations. Other music was broadcast live (Pierre himself being notable on French radio at the time). Some individual tracks found their way into the use of other artists, with Pierre's work being fronted in mime performances and [[ballets]]. Now after his death, various musical production companies, such as ''Disques Adès'' and ''[[Phonurgia Nova]]'' have been granted rights to distribute his work.
Below is a list of Schaeffer's musical works, showing his compositions and the year(s) they were recorded.
