'audition' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'duet italian gets the hang of' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'italian' could be 'it' (abbreviation for Italian) and 'it' is found in the answer.
'gets' could be 'takes' ('take' can be a synonym of 'get') and 'takes' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'w' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.
