Franz Anton Hoffmeister: Viola Concerto in D major, Gérard Caussé

Franz Anton Hoffmeister - Concerto Pour Alto et Orchestre en Ré Majeur (Viola Concerto in D )
Gérard Caussé, Solistes de Moscou-Montpellier Chamber Orchestra
(The concert score is not original; the earliest sources for this work are copies made by other hands; there is no autograph signature; this work was reviewed by Ulrich Drüner. )
Austrian music publisher and composer, Franz Anton Hoffmeister, was born in Rottenburg in May 1757. He went to Vienna in 1768 to study law, but after qualifying for this study, he devoted his time to music publishing and composition.
Hoffmeister contributed to many genres of music. For the theatre he wrote operettas, Singspiel and operas, as well as other sacred and secular vocal music. For the orchestra he composed 44 symphonies, 13 of which are lost and 15 published. He was particularly prolific in chamber music, with a quantity of string quartets and flute quartets among many other works, including trios, duo sonatas, and violin or flute sonatas, all very much in the accepted style of his time.

Perfect. Hoffmeister dominates classical form and style, and it was graceful.

Fantástico!!

[@a.whatfish8217]

This piece should be much more widely known. It is so very good.

[@jonathanhos6031]

A. Whatfish Very much agree

[@RolandHutchinson]

It is at least known by every violist on the planet!
It was the first classical concerto that I studied as a student violist, and I suspect the same for many, many others.
