Hoffmeister Viola

What are some good romantic/impressionist era viola pieces?
I have to choose a NYSSMA piece soon. Last year I did Concerto in B minor by Handel (a level 6) and got a 100 so I’m looking to do an All-State piece this year. My private teacher said that we would probably do a Hoffmeister piece but I listened to them and I don’t really like them that much. I like more lyrical, dramatic pieces. Are there any composers/pieces that come to mind? Keep in mind it can’t be too easy :X
I don’t know if there’s a transcription of the accompaniment for piano or not, but the most famous piece composed for solo viola and orchestra from the Romantic era that I’m aware of is Hector Berlioz’s “Harold in Italy”.
