Ivan Ivanovitch Kryzhanovsky (Kryjanowski) Born 8.3.1867 Kyiv - Died 9.12.1924 Leningrad
He initially trained as a physician in Kyiv, during this period he also studied music. Having graduated as a physician he went on to study theory and violin at the Kiev Conservatory. He then went to St.Petersburg and studied under Rimsky-Korsakov 1896-1900. He became a member of the Belaieff circle. He later returned to medicine and started to compose as an amateur. During WW1 he was taken prisoner by the Germans, this took a toll on his health.

Or with Bohdan Volodymyrovych Kryzhanovsky (1884-1955), or with Danilo Yakovych Kryzhanovsky (1856-1894), both also born in Ukraine. "
Kryzhanivsky" in Ukrainian.
Ivan Kryzhanovsky is referenced in that Gershwin/Weill song "Tchaikovsky and other Russians".
None of this tells us where the piano concerto might be found and who gave it it's first performance.
There is at least the good fortune that his violin concerto (https://know.freelibrary.org/Record/766326) is preserved in full score and parts at the Fleisher Collection.
BTW a worldcat search under Kryžanovskij reveals also a posthumously published (1930) fantasia for organ and a canzona for cello and piano published ca.1914. As to the piano concerto, how do we know it can be found, and what is our source for its having existed? (Not being able to read Russian, I anyway probably can't trawl Russian music journals of the 1920s for notices of its premiere or early performances, though if the premiere was also reported in e.g. Neue Zeitschrift then at least there's a chance I might run into it while randomly going over scans of older issues of that and other publications :) I assume he's not mentioned in Sitsky's book on the Russian Avant-Garde for obvious reasons, though he might be mentioned, or better than just mentioned, in another detailed scholarly published survey of Russian music life of the early 20th century. Might be worth looking there.)
edit: "au:"Kryjanowsky"" adds a few further works which are hopefully but not definitely by Ivan Kryzhanovsky, including a serenade, and a Introduction and rondo capriccioso, both for flute and piano.
(Ivan Kryzhanovsky, student of Rimsky, teacher of Myaskovsky (and Prokofiev?)... interesting...)

It wasn't clear that that was the question...! Anyway - do you know where he was based when he wrote it? As he was Ukrainian/born in Ukraine, possibly try the Vernadsky National Library in Kyiv (where the Skorulsky piano concerto was found, as per recent discussion thread). http://nbuv.gov.ua/ (http://nbuv.gov.ua/) - English language option in box at top right.
