Parts of a fugue – one finally started by Stravinsky and completed by Tippett (7)
I believe the answer is:
stretti
'parts' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stretti that I've seen before include "Pieces of music" , "musical pieces" , "fugal devices" , "Musical passages" .)
