Recital's tricky piece (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

article

'piece' is the definition.
(I know that article is a type of piece)

'recital's tricky' is the wordplay.
'tricky' indicates an anagram.
'recital' with letters rearranged gives 'ARTICLE'.

(Other definitions for article that I've seen before include "What might be illustrated by a" , "Piece of journalism" , "What journalist writes" , "Feature - item" , "Perhaps an" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
