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.

Løvenskiold was born on July 30, 1815 in Holmestrand, Norway where his father, Baron ECF Løvenskiold, was director of the royal ironworks. In 1829 Løvenskiold's father relocated his family to Denmark where he had accepted a position with the forestry service, where he supervised the area surrounding Furesø Lake north of Copenhagen.
Actually
He was born at Ulefoss/Holla, in Telemark. His father was the owner of (the debtridden) Holden jernværk.
By the way:
When the family left Norway, the ironworks were left to its creditors and later sold to the Cappelen familiy who still owns it. The company, now called Ulefoss Jernverk, was started in 1657 and is still located in Ulefoss. It celebrated its 350 years birthday in 2007 - and is the oldest still living and thriving industriel company in Norway. 80.212.59.72 (talk) 15:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I appended a generic stub-class composer flag to the end of this article. There is no stub flag for Norwegian composers, apparently.
I added the stub flag as this article can stand significant expansion. More is needed on the composer's early life, where he went to school, personal and professional lives, etc. Erzahler (talk) 05:02, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
