That actually makes quite a bit of sense to me (albeit the Opus appears to represent when the piece was published as opposed to when it was written-which to me is a little confusing.
Question: why then would a manufacturer ever name a CD w/o listing what number piece it is and ONLY supply the Opus number?
Yeah I guess that the Op. # is important, but id rather know what number the piece is in the series than at what point it was published (if I had to choose between the two).
