Any concerto is going to have a lot of articulated passages, or at least a lot of published articulations. There is the thought that you don't *have to* follow what's printed. Sometimes they're put in by an editor and not by the composer. If you want to work on a specific area like staccato, it might be a good thing that the piece isn't so difficult in other respects, allowing you to concentrate on your particular weakness.

Do you have an idea of what needs to be improved in your staccato? Do you know what to do to try to correct it? This is an area of playing where a couple of sessions with a skilled teacher can be very useful in keeping you from going down a lot of rabbit holes.
