Viola concerto
A viola concerto is a concerto contrasting a viola with another body of musical instruments such as an orchestra or chamber music ensemble. Early examples of viola concertos include Telemann's concerto in G major and several concertos by Carl Stamitz and other members of his family. The first concertante work to use the viola without caution was Mozart's violin and viola Sinfonia Concertante.

The concerto for viola, string orchestra and kettle-drums by the Italian composer Alessandro Appignani is a unique concert in the history of this noble instrument. Alessandro Appignani wrote the concerto in 2005 dedicating it to the violist Danilo Rossi (renowned soloist, as well as the first viola of the teatro alla Scala ), a concerto that had its world premiere in 2008 in Città Sant'Angelo within the concert series "centri storici in musica “; the concerto is divided into three stages: Sakura, Celvm stellatvm, Caerimonialis, it comes totally from an improvisation written on the piano and orchestrated later, without subsequently changing even a note to give space to instinct and emotion, trusting in creative force that generates primal thoughts.
