again, "published in" (1857), not composed in. We lack sufficient information - manuscripts, anything else - to say when the set of etudes Op.39, published in 1857 and of which his piano symphony forms nos.4-7, was composed besides the obvious fact that it was no later than 1857...

Earliest piano symphony

Then again, an earlier "Nouvelle symphonie pour piano-forte" by Mascarelly is listed as having been published in 1830, publisher not specified precisely ("tous les marchands du musique", Marseille) in the French National Bibliography, 4 September 1830, p.600. So even the Kullak is not necessarily the earliest one. ELSchissel (talk) 12:49, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for drawing our attention to this fact, and by all means, do not hesitate to include it in the article! We can play it safe by saying, "The first known/published/documented piano symphony" or something to that effect. Toccata quarta (talk) 14:35, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
