[Smt-talk] Pieces in F-sharp major

[Huron, David]

The "cheaters" way to identify lots of pieces in F-sharp major is to
use Themefinder (themefinder.org). It displays a purported 139 matches
for themes in F-sharp major, starting with Albéniz, Aubert, Barber, Bach, etc.

To be sure, these are THEMES rather than WORKS, but if you limit yourself
to first themes, these are mostly correct, but the results are mixed with a
lot of spurious matches as well.

Some low-lying fruit:

Beethoven's Op. 78, the Sonata "a Therése" (a little gem of a work)

Liszt's Waltz Oubliée No. 1


Of course, the challenge becomes tougher if you restrict it to
orchestral repertoire. Haydn's Farewell Symphony has a minuet movement
in F-sharp major, but that doesn't quite count. Korngold's only
symphony is also written in this key.
