bus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a powerful moving busoni piece' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'piece' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'piece' could be 'b' (abbreviation for bishop) and 'b' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'us' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
