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 [[Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]]'s ''[[Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven)|Moonlight Sonata]]'', the key became more frequent in the piano repertoire.
Interestingly, [[Joseph Haydn|Haydn]] didn't write any works in C-sharp minor and Mozart only wrote one.
