Yes, the more CSG behaves like other kinds of music, the better IMO.
The current trend of this trend seems to suggest we should use:
Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27 No. 2 "Quasi una
fantasia" (a.k.a. "Moonlight"): I. Adagio sostenuto

It has the advantage of being explicit. But it has the disadvantage
that a.k.a. is only meaningful to english speaking users. Would
someone know of a latin equivalent?
