How hard is it really?
Is No.1 really difficult?

Both are difficult. A lot harder than any Beethoven concerto. Harder than the Grieg, the Schumann and any Mozart.

I personally like the second more. It has more depth.

I have only played No.1 and it is not hard. The only hard part is to not *** up entries in the scherzando section. No. 2 is gorgeous and not too hard to perform (according to Leslie Howard) in that the orhestra cannot *** up like in the 1st concerto. Leslie plays no.2 rather than no.1 (when he can) because whilst the solo part is not particularly taxing it can get tricky when the orchestra gets involved.
