It is most unusual to see horn parts in the alto clef - is there some justification for this usage? [Normally one would expect to find them written up a major 7th in C major in the treble clef for horns in D] The viola part, also unusually, spends a couple of bars [unnecessarily] in the bass clef - is this intentional?

Thanks you for the explanation! For any horn-players who prefer to read from standard horn in D parts, just print as they are and mentally or physically cut off the clef and key-signature - the note-heads are already in the right places for treble-clef horn in D.
