Line 21:
There are only two known symphonies in the 18th Century written in this key. One of them is by [[Joseph Martin Kraus]], but he appears to have found the key difficult since he later rewrote it in [[C minor]]. Even in the following two centuries C-sharp minor symphonies remained rare. Two notable examples are [[Gustav Mahler|Mahler]]'s [[Symphony No. 5 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 5]] and [[Sergei Prokofiev|Prokofiev]]'s Symphony No. 7.
This key occurs more often in piano literature, however, from the 18th Century onwards. [[Domenico Scarlatti]] wrote just two keyboard sonatas in C-sharp minor, K. 246 and K. 247. But after [[Beethoven]]'s ''Moonlight Sonata'', the key became more frequent in the piano repertoire.
An interesting fact about this key is that Haydn didn't write any works in this key and Mozart only wrote one.
