Which of 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 are the "three" symphonies premiered by Mravinsky?

This reminds me of the famous old schoolboy howler: "Beethoven wrote 3 symphonies, the 5th, the 6th and the 9th".

I've changed it to five for now, though I found another page which said "5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12". Any advance? ;) I'm working through the symphonies now, which may clarify things. Markalexander100 10:42, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Oops! Looks like I'm responsible for that one. To be honest, I can't remember where I got the info from, and it could probably do with checking, but I'm sure I meant to write "five" instead of "three" in the first place. Sorry about that. --Camembert

Sorted. He premiered 6 of the symphonies, but not all with the Leningrad Philharmonic [1]. Markalexander100 21:22, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I've changed his dates with the Leningrad Philharmonic to be 1938-1988. This is supported on several websites, for example [2] Grover cleveland 18:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
