Reading viola music can be difficult at first, even for experienced musicians, due to the fact that most viola music is written in alto clef (which is rarely used), rather than trebel or base clef.  The different clef is difficult for musicians to transpose without practise.

The viola is typically assigned secondary parts in music, often harmonies without significant melodies assigned to the instrument.  Chamber music, especially of the 1800s, is one notable exception, where the viola is often assigned significant parts.  Even with extensive existing music, few modern composers write viola music.
