In the eight decades since it was written, Paul Kletzki’s Piano Concerto in D minor has been banned by the Nazis, hidden in a basement, bombed by the Allies, threatened by fire, buried for more than 20 years and then, once recovered, neglected by its own composer. On Sunday night, it might win a Grammy. Joseph Banowetz, professor of piano at the University of North Texas, is nominated for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra for his recording of the concerto with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra.
