Re Szymanowski's 2nd symphony: it dates from 1910, the version with Fitelberg's proposed revision of the instrumentation is slightly later, and therefore predates Zemlinsky's mature Sinfonietta by nearly a quarter of a century (1934).
Szymanowski might have known Schönberg's Pelléas, which was premiered in 1903 iirc.
