Also stake in Passage Moving Slowly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andante

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

'ipassage moving slowlyi' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'also stake' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'and' (I've seen this before).
'stake' becomes 'ante' (anteing is a kind of staking).
'and'+'ante'='ANDANTE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andante that I've seen before include "Moving fairly slowly" , "Moderately slow musical passage" , "not quickly" , "Fairly slow (mus.)" , "at a gentle pace" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
