First symphony by an American woman (premiered anywhere)

This article formerly said, to be premiered in the United States, with a reference. The statement with premiered "anywhere" is true I believe and made in the Amy Beach article, with reasons given there (fourth woman to have a symphony premiered; first three had been European). That is dependent on WP's chronological list of all composers of symphonies, which one could say is not necessarily a reliable source, like WP articles in general, maybe especially in this case because of the large amount of information in it.

Haydn father of symphony?

One reference said that is a "schoolbook" statement. In the Baroque period there were pieces called "Sinfonia" that are now not considered symphonies. Giovanni Battista Sammartini (~1700-1775) was "one of the most influential figures in the early development of the symphony" according to Denis Arnold and Roger Parker in Oxford Companion to Music, 2002, p. 1100. Haydn lived 1732-1809 and supposedly called Sammartini a "scribbler", but their styles were very similar according to Arnold and Parker. Marlindale (talk) 01:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
