Ian,
Four years of study, could mean any level, depending on the person.
It is difficult for us to know what level you are now at. What have you
played? What books have you studied or are studying from? Have you taken
lessons before? Are you taking lessons now? If you are taking lessons,
ask your instructor to hear you and then he can make a recommendation.
However, here is a list of a few that I have enjoyed playing in the past:

Weber, Concertino
Milhaud, Duo Concertant
Schumann, Three Romances
" " Fantasy Pieces
