Many classical compositions belong to a numbered series of works of a similar type by the same composer. For example, Beethoven wrote 9 symphonies, 10 violin sonatas, 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, 16 string quartets, 7 piano trios and other works, all of which are numbered sequentially within their genres and generally referred to by their sequence numbers, keys and opus numbers.
Beethoven’s “Pathetique Sonata” is used in the chorus of “This Night,” by Billy Joel. And the Beatles song, “Because,” is based on a chord from “Moonlight Sonata” played backwards.

During the Classical era, C minor was used infrequently and often for works of a particularly turbulent cast. [citation needed] Mozart, for instance, wrote only very few works in this key, but they are among his most dramatic ones (the twenty-fourth piano concerto, the fourteenth piano sonata, the Masonic Funeral Music, the Adagio and Fugue in C minor and the Great Mass in C minor, for instance).
