Classical music teaser - round 2

Q5 : After some frantic Internet searches I came up with this : Bartok, Concerto for Orchestra. My mate Google tells me Bela was on the brink of madness and/or bankruptcy when he composed it.

[Quijote]

OK for 12 hrs. I have PM'd you already for the remaining Qs 1 & 5. Catch you tomorrow at 06h45!

[Peter]

I just posted an answer to Q5, but after checking the rules I've deleted it! Damn these rules!

If everyone agrees I'll reduce the time limit to 12 hours instead? Any thoughts?
BTW you can blame Michael for suggesting I try to make these Google proof!

4. Manuel Garcia, was an impresario, composer and opera singer and at least he did die in 1832???

Again very well done Michael - I was concerned this one was too vague and was prepared to add Spanish as a further clue.

Okay - sticking my neck out but here goes:

No.6 : "Papillons" by Schumann which was inspired by Jean Paul's novel (The Awkward Age) of 1805.

The Steve McQueen connection comes from a movie called "Papillons" in which he appeared.

A bold call Michael and well thought out - however I think I'll have to insist on 24 hours for your next answer! No.4 though is up for immediate grabs as it has been attempted.

I am convinced I have the answer to 6 but do I have to wait until 24 hours from my first incorrect post (which would be in about an hour's time) or from my last post which was in lieu of a wrong one?
Or am I confusing everyone
I'm certainly confusing myself. .

Since no one else has had a go I think I'll allow you to post Michael if you dare!!!

I sent Peter PMs for Qs 1, 4 & 5. My 24 hours are up, so I'll go for Q4: Puccini, the father who passed on his legacy to the son.

Hmm did you check the date? Died in 1832 which would make Puccini very much older than we previously thought!

[Peter]

As No 3 hasn't got the red light, I think the rules allow me to have another go. It might be Josef Hoffmann. I had a vinyl recording of two Beethoven sonatas played by him on the Duo-Art piano roll system.

I don't think he invented it, though.
Michael

He invented a device to record dynamics in reproducing piano rolls that he perfected just as the roll companies went out of business.

May I just say that Q6 is a bit of a bitch? Dear Mods, please delete any words that might cause offense.
