I know nothing about the numbering, etc. But I do know that I have several
recordings of one of my pianistic idols, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli,
playing the Sonata No. 5 in C. An absolutely delightful rococo sonata.

It's interesting that the 1954 Grove - the only one to hand - mentions not
one word about his compositions for keyboard, talking only about his renown
as an opera composer.
