I moved the article back so that its title is what the work is called (I will never think of this work as his "Sonata No. 31", but always "Op. 110", and I am absolutely certain I am not in a minority among musicians). I think the other Beethoven piano sonata (and string quartet) articles should be similarly moved, as musicians in my experience know them all by opus number not by order of publication, but I recognise that consensus is required before this is done. --RobertGtalk 17:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Turns out to be a fairly moot point as most users will probably use the boxes at the bottom to navigate through the various sonatas and quartets. 172.165.139.179 06:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


I "moved" it back to Sonata No. 31, to match the other articles on Beethoven's piano sonatas. Though I agree with RobertG, I think it's either all the articles or none. Redkind 18:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

*Sigh*. I can live with it, and it's no big deal, but the titles of the articles on Beethoven's string quartets and piano sonatas are something which, in my view, Wikipedia has got absolutely wrong. And please don't do cut-n-paste moves! --RobertGtalk 19:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
