A Verdi composition that's different (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

varied

'different' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'a verdi composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator (letters arranged or composed in a different order).
'a'+'verdi'='averdi'
'averdi' anagrammed gives 'VARIED'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for varied that I've seen before include ".Made or became different" , "Mixed" , "Motley" , "Wide-ranging" , "Widely different" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
