Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1867 (BlackPast.org; International Music Score Library Project; KANTO; Musicalics; BnF authorities) or November 24, 1868 (Integrated Authority File; The Fine Art Archive Db; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; Find a Grave) or March 31, 1868 (No external source identified).
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.
