[@Pianodud]

This is op.11 not 1.

OK

[@Stancotangent]

Stupid as hell kid, if ever encountered something called music theory in your life, theres is a difference between Opus and No, this says no. 1 which is it's proper signature. get some education before making yourself a clown on the internet

[@drr2874]

They didn't say "Op 1", they said, No. 1. Therefore it's correctly referred as, Piano Sonata No. 1 in F♯ minor, Op. 11.

@@drr2874Actually did. You didn’t see the past before.😂
