          Lev Oborin won the Chopin competition before Uninsky and Aram Khachaturian dedicated his Piano Concerto in D flat to Oborin. Oborin & David Oistrakh premiered Prokofiev Violin Sonata no 1.

              Prokofiev? Oh really? :duh!:

              How's about ....

              What P was the chosen one in Italy and Canada but not in Poland, which stood him in good stead in the long run when he was the first to be invited to Kuwait and became an ambassador in New York and much further..

                    Ivo Pogorelic

                    "won the Casagrande Competition in Terni, Italy in 1978 and the Montreal International Musical Competition in 1980. However he became famous for the prize he didn't win. In 1980 he entered the International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw and was eliminated in the third round." says wikipedia. First classical pianist to be invited to play in Kuwait, UNESCO Ambassador of Goodwill.

                    but I'm not clever enough to understand the Zulu clue

                      I think the reference is to the first name of Ivor Emmanuel.

                            Might the answer be Albert Roussel?
                            He's buried, as is Braques, at Varengeville, he wrote a piece for guitar called 'Segovia' and also composed an opera called 'Padmavati', aka the Queen of Chittor.
