Tiersot 1903, p. 396 "Bizet semble être le premier qui ait écrit en ce genre. L'on a encore exécuté de lui cette année, parmi la serie des symphonies françaises, une oeuvre intitulé Roma. Est-ce bien une symphonie? A considérer le seul style, on en peut déjà douter. Le doute se change en certitude négative lorsqu'on examine de près les éléments de la composition."
