Composer who seemed a bit of a bore to a sculptor? (7)
I believe the answer is:
borodin
'composer who seemed' is the definition.
'borodin' can be an answer for 'composer' (Alexander Borodin was a Russian composer). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'a bit of a bore to a sculptor?' is the wordplay.
'a bit of a bore' becomes 'bo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to a sculptor?' becomes 'rodin' (Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor).
'bo'+'rodin'='BORODIN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for borodin that I've seen before include "Noteworthy chap" , "Prince Igor composer, d. 1887" , "Russian composer (Prince Igor)" , "Russian composer, d. 1887" , "Russian composer, Aleksandr Porfirevich (1834-87)" .)
