hum

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

'do something tuneful' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'with a schumann piece' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HUM' is hidden within 'schumann piece'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hum that I've seen before include "odour" , "Smell badly (slang)" , "Make musical sound with closed lips" , "Stench" , "Unpleasant smell" .)
