A lot of money for piece of music (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fortune

'a lot of money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for piece of music' is the wordplay.
'piece of music' becomes 'tune' (a tune is a piece of music).
'for'+'tune'='FORTUNE'

(Other definitions for fortune that I've seen before include "large sum of money" , "Great accumulation of wealth" , "Providence" , "Fate, destiny" , "Fate; riches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
