Op. 1 is kind of debut of composer, even though first opus number is often effect of mistake and in fact it wasn't first work by composer. Many composers, particularry those from classical and baroque eras, that pruduced works like a factory products glass bottles have really worthless opuses 1, but when later, in XIXth century artists started to follow their personal views they often produced smaller amounts of works and every single one of them, along with op. 1, represented something particular.
So, this is the thread to write about opuses no. 1 which you consider outstanding, some kind of rising from the first moments of creativity... eeee... you know what I mean.
I would mention:
Paganini (capirces)
Webern (Pascaletatlaraglataratalagia for orchestra)
Berg (piano sonata)
Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto No. 1)
Szymanowski (piano preludes)
Berlioz (Waverley overture: not great work, but you can hear that it's Berlioz and he knows what he is up to)
