Chopin's bust inspires my uplifting description of Beethoven's Fifth? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

symphonic

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

'description of beethoven's fifth?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'chopin's bust inspires my uplifting' is the wordplay.
'bust' is an anagram indicator.
'inspires' is an insertion indicator (inspire means to breathe in).
'uplifting' is a reversal indicator.
'my' backwards is 'ym'.
'chopins' anagrammed gives 'sphonic'.
'sphonic' enclosing 'ym' is 'SYMPHONIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for symphonic that I've seen before include "Like a major classical music form" , "Like some poems" , "in Mahlerian style?" , "like Beethoven's Fifth" .)
