The usual form is something like Basic (Symphony eg) No. ___ (Composer), no "No. __" if it's a singleton in the genre for them of course. (I messed up all through that, with lower case for sonata, which creates a different link than upper case. Er-hrm.)

With Friedrich Kiel- here I do think there's more than one sonata; at least his cello music's all been recorded so it's easy to check.

The Prokofiev solo sonata — see http://www.prokofiev.org/catalog/work.cfm?WorkID=127

Ropartz — second sonata (of three I think) is not op. 119#2 but I forget what it is. The recording that coupled the first two is OOP, but I should be able to find out.

Not sure if there is a fixed naming convention for solo cello works as there is for Symphony No. () (...). (no No. 1 if a singleton.) Schissel : bowl listen 18:59, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

Naming conventions as they stand are at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (pieces of music). Not writ in stone, of course, but I think it covers common practice and is as good as any other convention we're likely to devise. On "violoncello" versus "cello": it's not something covered in the convention, but I think common usage would suggest "cello" (and we do have a convention written down somewhere to use common names, unless said names are plain Rong, of course). --Camembert

In which connection I'm just a bit disappointed in myself for having edited a [[Cello sonata]] page and then having gone on to create page and category for Violoncello concerto/i (also because I've come to much prefer os to i, and because I really don't like to waste space on unnecessary redirects, but that's just icing on cake. Grmblgr.!) Schissel : bowl listen 14:55, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
