For an audience, musical collection bore a small organ (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweetbread

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

'a small organ' is the definition.
(sweetbread can mean an animal pancreas)

'for an audience musical collection bore' is the wordplay.
'for an audience' shows a homophone (sound like) (as the word might sound to an audience).
'musical collection' becomes 'suite' (suite of pieces of music).
'bore' becomes 'bread' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'suite' sounds like 'sweet'.
'sweet'+'bread'='SWEETBREAD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweetbread that I've seen before include "Veal offal" , "Pancreas (as food)" , "Thymus gland as food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
