Collect the compositions and redeem a bad situation (15)
I believe the answer is:
pickupthepieces
'redeem a bad situation' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'collect the compositions' is the wordplay.
'collect' becomes 'pickup' (synonyms).
'compositions' becomes 'pieces' ('piece' can be a synonym of 'composition').
'pickup'+'the'+'pieces'='PICKUPTHEPIECES'
'and' is the link.
