  68. Possibly (and as confirmed by the review of the actual concert, which quotes the work which can be compared in full score online), the "New" suite for orchestra mentioned as part of the lineup of the new series of concerts for the coming Vienna season 1865 to '66. Probably though not definitely ready by that point (not definitely...) when the article was written in November 1865. As noted in the other link, given its Vienna premiere in a concert reviewed in the Leipzig AMZ in March 1866, so composed and premiered no later than then at any rate!
