Exactly, I wanted to give a similar example with composition date. I've seen a lot of examples where the movements have exact composition dates (e.g. 1874-1876 and 1877-1878) and the entire work has 1874-1878. So here the entire work kind of inherits the composition dates from the contained sub-works. So I don't really see the benefit of just blindly copying ARs...
