Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: May 9, 1740 (Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; SNAC; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; Discogs; Archivio Storico Ricordi; Musicalics; International Music Score Library Project; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Integrated Authority File) or May 9, 1741 (Dizionario bio-bibliografico degli scrittori pugliesi viventi e dei morti nel presente secolo).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
