I think there's a difference between virtuosic and hard.
Virtuosic...pieces that are made to sound easy, however hard they are.
Hard...things like the Nielsen concerto...it's unlikely that anyone comes off stage after that, and the audience says, that piece sounded really easy.
If you make Mozart sound hard though, you have almost failed.
Virtuosic pieces then....
I would suggest, those by Cahuzac, Giampieri, Baermann (variations to Weber works for example) and various other great virtuosi player/composers. Perhaps these sound so virtuosic, because they are written by masters of the instrument.
Some would say things like Messager Solo de concours, but it's not exactly brilliant clarinet writing, in terms of technique.
What I'm trying to say is hard to put into words, I hope I'm making some kind of sense!!
