Franz Anton Hoffmeister's Concerto for Viola in D is among the most important concertos for the instrument. The first movement is the most substantial and resolute of the three, while the second movement starts as a solemn Adagio but soon reaches the relative major key of F where it becomes more contented. The final movement is a dance-like rondo with a particularly catchy theme.
