Pointless staccato playing in organ piece (7)
I believe the answer is:
toccata
'piece' is the definition.
(I know that toccata is a type of piece)
'pointless staccato playing in organ' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'playing' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toccata that I've seen before include "Series of musical runs and chords before a fugue" , "Baroque musical piece" , "Musical composition for keyboard to show technique" , "Baroque musical composition" , "Baroque keyboard composition" .)
