Most of these are probably already in your list, but here goes:

 ALWYN       Sinfonietta  (1970)
 ARNOLD      Sinfonietta #1, Op. 48  (1954)
 ARNOLD      Sinfonietta #2, Op. 65  (1960)
 ARNOLD      Sinfonietta #3, Op. 81  (1965)
 BAX         Sinfonietta (Symphonic Fantasy)  (1932)
 BRITTEN     Sinfonietta for Wind Quintet, String Quartet & Bass, Op. 1 (1932)
 CHADWICK    Sinfonietta in D Major  (1904)
 HINDEMITH   Sinfonietta "Lustige", Op. 4  (1916)
 LAJTHA      Sinfonietta, Op. 43  (1946)
 MAREK       Sinfonietta in D Major  (1916)
 MARKEVITCH  Sinfonietta in F Major  (1929)
 MARTINU     Sinfonietta "Giocosa" for Piano & Orchestra  (1940)
 MARTINU     Sinfonietta "La Jolla" for Piano & Orchestra  (1950)
 MOERAN      Sinfonietta  (1944)
 OSTRCIL     Sinfonietta, Op. 20  (1921)
 PISTON      Sinfonietta  (1941)
 POULENC     Sinfonietta  (1948)
 PROKOFIEV   Sinfonietta, Op. 48  (1932)
 REGER       Sinfonietta, Op. 90  (1905)

So, as improbable as it seems, was Chadwick the first composer to pen a
Sinfonietta?  I'll have to look this up when I get home...
