Max Reger (1873-1916)
A fugue is a musical form. An opus is a musical composition. Therefore a fugue is not an opus, nor is an opus a fugue. A composer may compose a fugue and give it an opus number. In that case, a specific fugue is identified by a specific opus number in its composer's catalogue: 'Fugue in G minor for organ, opus 99, by Franz Schnitzelgruber.'
Fugue
He composed Nocturne No 17 opus 62 No 1 in 1846, as he did Nocturne No 17 opus 62 No 2 as well. 1846 was a very productive year for Chopin, he finished in that year 'Bacarolle' opus 60, Bourrée No 1 and No 2, Mazurkas No 39-41 opus 63, Mazurkas No 42-45 opus 67, Galop Marquis, Polonaise No 7 opus 61, the complete Sonate opus 65 and The Minutewalz opus 64.
Frédéric Chopin published the Opus 24 mazurkas (which includes No. 4 in B-flat minor) in 1836.

Schubert's Opus 64 No. 1 for piano is commonly known as the "Impromptu in C minor." It is part of a set of four impromptus composed in 1827 and is celebrated for its lyrical melodies and emotional depth. The piece showcases Schubert's unique ability to blend classical form with romantic expressiveness.
Schumann used a mechanical device in order to improve independence and dexterity of his hands as a pianist which caused him a permanent injury in two fingers--presumably while practicing his "Toccata: Opus 7."
The planet suite (Opus 32) was composed by Gustav Holst.The God of Israel.

The British composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976). It's his Opus 34 and was composed in 1946 for an educational documentary film to teach children about the orchestra. It's written for a large symphony orchestra and takes the form of a theme and instrumental variations. The them is the Rondeau from Henry Purcell's Opera Abdelezar, and there are 13 variations before the final fugue. The work can be performed with narration, although it's more usually done without.
I would say they hold equal popularity, in terms of how often they are performed in concerts. Both are young works, composed within a year of each other. The first to be completed was the F minor Concerto (Marked as No 2). This was started in 1829 at the age of 19 and was not completed until March of 1830. Chopin had by then started a second Piano concerto, in E Minor. Due to problems with manuscripts and errors on behalf of the publishers, the 2nd, E Minor Concerto was published out of chronological order as No 1. It follows that when the F Minor concerto was ready to be published, it became the 2nd Piano Concerto, even though it was composed first. There was apparently no effort to change the status quo and so this numbering remains, confusingly, to this day! So, what we know as the Piano Concerto No 1 in E minor Opus 11, was composed after what we know as the Piano Concerto No 2 in F Minor Opus 22. Both are very beautiful works and both have much to recommend them.
