Intro to tuneless composer's passages (7)
I believe the answer is:
travels
'passages' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'intro to tuneless composer's' is the wordplay.
'intro to' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'intros to' mean this).
'composer's' becomes 'Ravel's' (Maurice Ravel, 1875-1937).
The first letter of 'tuneless' is 't'.
't'+'ravels'='TRAVELS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for travels that I've seen before include "journeyman's accounts" , "An account of journeys" , "Varlets who make journeys" , "and so becomes broad-minded?" , "Voyages" .)
