You hit the nail on the head, precisely. If I didn't know who the composer was, I might have guessed someone like Theresia von Paradis, Mozart's protégé. Just listening to the piano concerto by Clara Schumann for comparison, the Mayer PC is almost atavistic. I would have loved to hear what Fanny Mendelssohn could have brought to the genre.
