Question: What year did the person Aram Khachaturian dedicated his Violin Concerto in D minor to die?
Context: Maro Ajemian (July 9, 1921 – September 18, 1978) was an American pianist.  Ajemian's career in contemporary music got its impetus from her Armenian heritage; she became known as a contemporary pianist after performing the U.S. premiere of Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto, which she chose to play based on the fact that Khachaturian was Armenian. Bohuslav Martinů's Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, H. 293 was composed between February and April 1943 between his first two symphonies and premiered on December 31 by Mischa Elman and the Boston Symphony conducted by Sergei Koussevitzky.  Elman requested the concerto following the premiere of the dramatic Symphony No. 1 by the same orchestra, impressed by the work.  It was referred as Martinů's only violin concerto until an earlier concerto which was thought to be lost appeared in 1968, nine years after the composer's death. François Boucher (1860c.  1936) was a Canadian violinist and music educator.  Born in Montreal, Boucher was the son of Canadian publisher and musician Adélard Joseph Boucher and the brother of conductor Joseph-Arthur Boucher.  His initial violin studies were with Jules Hone and Frantz Jehin-Prume.  In 1876 he went to Europe to study at the Royal Conservatory of Liège with Lambert Massart.  After returning to Canada, he had a triumphany success in Montreal performing Felix Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64" in 1881.  In 1882 he and his father established a successful music store in Ottawa.  That same year he began playing first violin in a string quartet and working as a teacher.  In 1887 he joined the faculty of the Toronto Conservatory of Music.  He taught concurrently at the Toronto College of Music beginning in 1889.  He was a soloist with the Toronto Philharmonic Society in 1893 where he had success performing Max Bruch's "Violin Concerto No. 1".  In 1894 he emigrated to the United States.  In 1906 he joined the faculty of the Kansas City Conservatory of Music, where he taught through 1923.  His wife taught piano at the conservatory and his daughter was later a singing teacher at the school.  He died in Kansas City. Violin Concerto No. 1 may refer to any composers' first violin concerto, or to a composer's only violin concerto: Aram Khachaturian's Violin Concerto in D minor was completed in 1940 and dedicated to the Russian violinist David Oistrakh, who premièred the concerto in Moscow on September 16, 1940.  Oistrakh advised Khachaturian on the composition of the solo part and also wrote his own cadenza that markedly differs from the one originally composed by Khachaturian.  The concerto was initially well received and awarded the Stalin Prize for arts in 1941.  The work became a staple of the 20th century violin repertoire, and maintains its popularity into the 21st century. David Fyodorovich Oistrakh (30 September [O.S. 17 September] 1908 – 24 October 1974) was a renowned Soviet classical violinist and violist. Béla Bartók's Violin Concerto No. 2, BB 117 was written in 1937–38.  During the composer's life, it was known simply as his Violin Concerto.  (His other violin concerto, Violin Concerto No. 1, Sz.  36, BB 48a was written in the years 1907–1908, but only published in 1956, after the composer's death, as "Violin Concerto No. 1, Op.  posth.") Alla Alexandrovna Kazanskaya (Russian: Алла Александровна Казанская ) (15 June 1920 – 25 June 2008) was a Russian stage and film actress.  She began her career at the age of 18 at the Vakhtangov Theatre in Moscow.  It was to Kazanskaya that the composer Aram Khachaturian dedicated the "Waltz" from his incidental music to Lermontov's "Masquerade".  By the time of her death at age 88, she was the theatre's oldest working actress.  She had received the Crystal Turandot, Russia's foremost theatre award in 2007. Aram Khachaturian wrote his Cello Concerto in E minor in 1946 for Sviatoslav Knushevitsky.  It was the last of the three concertos he wrote for the individual members of a renowned Soviet piano trio that performed together from 1941 until 1963.  The others were: the Piano Concerto for Lev Oborin (1936); and the Violin Concerto for David Oistrakh (1940). The Violin Concerto No. 3 in E major was composed by Niccolò Paganini in 1826.  On 12 December 1826, Paganini wrote from Naples to his friend L. G. Germi that, having recently completed his Second Violin Concerto, he had now "finished orchestrating a third with a Polacca", and added: "I would like to try these concertos out on my own countrymen before producing them in Vienna, London and Paris."  In the event, the Third Violin Concerto does not seem to have been premiered until July 1828 in Vienna.  Since Paganini's death in 1840 concerto wasn't performed for more than a century until it was eventually rediscovered in the late 1960s and first recorded and publically performed by Henryk Szeryng in 1971.
