Thank you very much philgodard, I was indeed wondering about traits and not virtuoso which is pretty straightforward. You helped a lot.

virtuoso sections

I'm assuming your question is primarily about "traits" and you know what virtuoso means.
Example sentence:

This movement is an excellent example of the way Spohr integrated such virtuoso sections into the overall structure.

Are most of the "virtuoso" sections original, or are they actually in the orchestral piece?

Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : OK, though "passages" would be a better word here, I think. It really means features or aspects.

Yes, that's another possibility. Thanks.
agree Jennifer Levey : With Charles: passages. Also (depending on the work in question - info to which we are not privy) "virtuoso phrases".
