The third symphony is opus 36 in C minor, published in 1862; an opus 54 in D minor followed later. Were they published out of chronological order, or were there more than three? (Source: Walter Frisch, Brahms: The Four Symphonies. New Haven: Yale University Press (2003): 7 - 10. ISBN0300099657. Table 1-1, "A chronological listing of symphonies by contemporary composers published in the Austro-German sphere in the period between Schumann's Third and Brahms's First." Wüerst's D minor is listed under 1869 (its date of publication, as Frisch explains in a note on page 10). Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC) (note: Frisch's list also includes the Prize Symphony op. 21 in F published in 1852, so that might be three in all, yes.

Further on symphony no. 3: the 1864 AMZ, pages 172-6 (downloadable free from Google Books), contain a review of this work (PDF pages 100-2) noting "Seiner Majestät Wilhelm L. König von Preussen zur Feier der Krönung am 13. October 1861" (the scan is difficult to read, but I believe that's it.) So the 3rd symphony in fact may date from 1861? Schissel | Sound the Note! 16:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC) (next word is gewidmet. It's a review of the score of the symphony score, from the 9 March 1864 issue of AMZ.)

Note using HMB (searchable 1829-1901 Hofmeister at here) - the order of publication was apparently -- opus 21 in F major 1852, opus 36 in C minor in 1862, opus 52? 54? in D minor in 1869. Unless the symphonies were numbered on score, I see nothing out of order in the opus numbers, actually... this seems quite in order... hrm.
