question: When was the Austrian composer who composed The String Quartet No. 5 (D 68) in B-flat major born 
answer: 31 January 179719
context: Title: Twelve Concertos, Op. 7 (Vivaldi)
  Passage: A set of twelve concertos was published by Estienne Roger in 1716-1717 under Antonio Vivaldi's name, as his Opus 7.  They were in two volumes, each containing concertos numbered 1-6.  Of the set, ten were for violin solo; the other two were for oboe solo.  The authenticity of some of the works included has long been doubted by scholars.  Three are now considered spurious (i.e. not in fact by Vivaldi) for stylistic reasons.  They are: No. 1 in B-flat major for oboe, RV Anh.  143 (formerly RV 465); No. 7 in B-flat major for oboe, RV Anh.  142 (formerly RV 464); and No. 9 in B-flat major for violin, RV Anh.  153 (formerly RV 373).
  Title: String Quartet No. 6 (Bartók)
  Passage: The String Quartet No. 6, Sz.  114, BB 119, was the final string quartet that Béla Bartók wrote before his death.  It was begun in August 1939 in Saanen, Switzerland, where Bartók was a guest of his patron, the conductor Paul Sacher.  Shortly after he completed the Divertimento for String Orchestra on the 17th, he started on a commission for his friend, the violinist Zoltán Székely.  Székely was acting as intermediary for the "New Hungarian Quartet", who had given the Budapest premiere of the String Quartet No. 5.  With the outbreak of World War II and his mother's illness, Bartók returned to Budapest, where the quartet was finished in November.  After his mother's death, Bartók decided to leave with his family for the United States.  Due to the difficulties of the war, communication between Bartók and Székely was difficult, and the quartet was not premiered until 20 January 1941, when the Kolisch Quartet, to whom the work is dedicated, gave its premiere at the Town Hall in New York City.
