A composition from Cremona (7)
I believe the answer is:
romance
'a composition' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'from cremona' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates anagramming the letters (from the letters).
'cremona' anagrammed gives 'ROMANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for romance that I've seen before include "Make up stories - Menorca (anag)" , "Sentimental affair in Menorca" , "Love-story" , "Amorous relationship" , "Group of languages" .)
