"...a virtuoso was, originally, a highly accomplished musician, but by the nineteenth century the term had become restricted to performers, both vocal and instrumental, whose technical accomplishments were so pronounced as to dazzle the public."
My piano teacher gave me the task of finding my own pieces in preparation for a competition in about a year. I might not actually do the competition, but the task is kind of difficult. I keep finding these amazingly virtuosic pieces. Or, some really easy ones that I don't even bother listening to on YouTube. So I don't know, I don't know how to find one or two pieces that are not classified by the MTNA to be "R," for "romantic." It's freakishly difficult to find things without knowing about them at all beforehand.
