[edit] Løvenskiold's score
I have deleted the following statement from the article, which is not true - "...music for 'La Sylphide' now constitutes the "oldest living comprehensive romantic ballet score"."
I am not sure what is meant by the score being "comprehensive" with regard to the music, but it is definately not the oldest score from the era of the Romantic ballet. The score of Jean-Madiliene Schneitzhoeffer for Fillipo Tagioni's original 1832 "La Sylphide" still exists, and has been in use for some years by the Paris Opera Ballet for thier production (which is Pierre Lacotte's revival of Taglioni's original of "La Sylphide").
This is just one example of a score predating Løvenskiold's score. There are many more.
