virtuoso sections


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

Example sentence(s):
  • 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?
