Crossword Genius

Composer bowled over by sculptor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

borodin

'composer' is the definition.
(Alexander Borodin was a Russian composer)

'bowled over by sculptor' is the wordplay.
'bowled' becomes 'b' (cricket abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation**).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'sculptor' becomes 'rodin' (Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor).
'b'+'o'+'rodin'='BORODIN'

(Other definitions for borodin that I've seen before include "Russian composer, d. 1887" , "Russian composer, Aleksandr Porfirevich (1834-87)" , "Prince Igor composer, d. 1887" , "Noteworthy chap" , "Russian composer (Prince Igor)" .)
