'some contemporary composers' is the definition.
The definition suggests a plural noun which matches the answer.

'top celebrities enthralled by notes' is the wordplay.
'top celebrities' becomes 'alist' (the A-list means very famous people).
'enthralled by' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('enthral' can mean 'capture').
'notes' becomes 'minims' (minim is a type of musical note).
'alist' going inside 'minims' is 'MINIMALISTS'.

'from' is the link.
