VIAF and BNF both claim her dates are 18..-19.. , not 18..-18.. . Her flourishing years were in the 1880s, but her death year might still have been as late as 1960 depending on details (she could have published her first works very early on and been long-lived... take the case of Durey (1888-1979) and move backwards by 19 years to consider some composer born in 1871 who died in 1960 :) ) - more information is needed is all I say before non-PD-CA is ruled out unfortunately...

just a remark : the 1885 Fantaisie Op.2 seems made by a young girl 'cause it's dedicaced "à mes parents" Squin 20:18, 2 November 2010 (UTC) His name is suggesting that she had a Romanian origin, probably "Ciolacu" who was "françisé" in Ciolac (on the score of the Op.1) and Ciolacou (for the others scores) Squin 21:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Well, there is another composer in viaf.org of the same surname who wrote music to Romanian national themes, I think- let me check... Eric 22:08, 2 November 2010 (UTC) -- ah. "Ciolac, Christache" - BNF - "compositeur, sans doute roumain"... referred to elsewhere on the web in a number of Romanian websites (presumably the same person) as fiddler "Cristache Ciolac", born 1901 I think.

as I understand it, VIAF and Musicsack belong under list pages most of the time because they provide birth and death dates and references - at most - to biographical information. Links to biographical information of a more detailed, narrative kind (such as one would find in Wikipedia or in Baker's Biographical Dictionary)- not just proof of the birth and death and nationality claims - belongs in the biography link.
