2-piano reduction noted in the 1889 Bulletin mensuel des récentes publications françaises of the Bibliothèque Française (page 18).
Choudens's plate number means most likely 1886. Don't know if we should retain the Godard's catalogue year instead of this.
Note: Symphony No.1 was not published, nor did Godard himelf call this symphony No.2 (instead he used to refer to it as being Première, but never wrote a Deuxième). There was also another unpublished early symphony, which seems to be lost (hence it has no No.).
