Talk:Jean-Delphin Alard

Date

I changed Alard's date of birth from May 8, 1815 to March 8, 1815 on the basis of the following evidence:

The following give March 8 as Alard's day of birth:

• The New International Encyclopaedia, page 260 (cited in this article)
• [French Wikipedia article]
• [Bertini, Pianiste virtuose, compositeur de musique,] by Pascal Beyles, page 27.
• [Biographical Dictionary of Musicians] (Baker, Theodore), page 9

The following give May 8 as Alard's day of birth:

• This article.
• [Britannica (11th ed.)]. Cambridge University Press (cited in this article).

Does anyone know any other (more authoritative) references?
