Music searches succeed best when you use authorised names and titles. Classical music titles appear in Finnish databases with the title of the source: Mozart: Concerto for piano and orchestra A major K 488, and the uniform, or authorised, title in Finnish: Konsertot, piano, orkesteri, KV488, A-duuri.
A rule of thumb to help you remember: Search with the composer's name, instrument's name, and opus/catalogue number (without punctuation or empty spaces, e.g. opus 1 is op1): Mozart piano KV488 (above example from Mozart). If the catalogue number includes letters, write them together with the numbers, without spaces, for example BWV18 or KV260.
The names of composers are also authorised: see the list Yhtenäistetyt nimekkeet (= Uniform music names). Lists of uniform titles of some essential composers are found under title "Säveltäjien teosluetteloita kirjastojen tapaan".
