One of the best intermediate concertos
The composer, Catherine Rollin, says in her foreword, I wanted to give the intermediate pianist the experience of playing a concerto in the Classical style well before their first Mozart concerto. I think she succeeded beautifully. For the intermediate pianist who has experience with Clementi or Kuhlau sonatinas the entire concerto is very playable. Lots of opportunity to work on Classical issues: Alberti bass, balance between melody and accompaniment, scale passage work. In addition, the 1st and 3rd movements require attention to the ensemble, there is much back-and-forth between Piano I (Solo) and Piano II. The entire 2nd movement could be played as a solo piece since Piano II only adds a broken chord accompaniment on the 2nd page. Potential challenges here are 2:3, pedal, and creating a beautiful singing tone. It reminds me of Rollin's Lament from Lyric Moments Book 2, just shorter and easier, but with the same melancholic quality. Beautifully sweet, but not saccharine.
