It has been a long time since i played any of them, but i do not remember number 23 giving me any problems and out off all of his concerti, that would be my favourite.

There are several alternatives to Mozart if you don't mind treading off the "well worn" path.

Hi, if you're not stuck in 21 to 27, go with no. 17  (K453 in G Major).  Beautiful and not bad to play at all! 

best,

Out of 21-27, I would probably say no. 23, but other beautiful ones include nos. 17 and 19.
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

definitely no. 23, not technically difficult and beautiful  :)
but my favourite is no. 21, i think it is great... i played it right after studying the sonata k.311 and it was not that hard to face  :P
best!

23 (K488) is the staple concerto usually given to students, because it's less taxing than most of the middle-to-late concerti (from K466 onwards). If you can play other concerti, 12 (K414) is also gaining popularity as "the little A Major" (even though it is curiously longer than K488). And the E-flat K448 is also a nice choice.
