Individual pieces sought but not named (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soli

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'individual pieces' is the definition.
'soli' can be an answer for 'pieces' (solo is a kind of piece). I'm not sure about the 'individual' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soli that I've seen before include "Parts for one performer" , "one-man performances" , "individual performances" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
