Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: February 23, 1831 (International Music Score Library Project; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; filmportal.de; Archivio Storico Ricordi; Internet Broadway Database; Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities; SNAC) or February 21, 1831 (Integrated Authority File) or February 23, 1830 (BnF authorities).

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.
