Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: May 16, 1917 (Enciclopedia de la Literatura en México; MusicBrainz; Archivio Storico Ricordi) or May 16, 1918 (BnF authorities; The Fine Art Archive Db; Integrated Authority File).
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.
