Are you sure that example is actually *just* piano and no orchestra?
I added that release, DiscId and all, and I can assure you there are no
orchestras in there.
In an age without cars, lp-players and symphony orchestras in every
town, many got to hear symphonies and concertos in their orchestrations
for one (or more) pianos.
It's not that big a stretch to extend this to bypass the orchestra
altogether and write something concerto-like in structure for a single
instrument such as the piano. (But I'm out of my wits here as to why the
label "sonata" wasn't used in stead.)
