Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: January 6, 1802 (familysearch.org) or January 6, 1803 (SNAC; Integrated Authority File; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; International Music Score Library Project; Archivio Storico Ricordi; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or January 6, 1806 (Herz, Henri (BLKÖ)).

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.
