Crossword Genius

Composer buys a secluded complex (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

claude debussy

'composer' is the definition.
(I know that Claude Debussy has the occupation composer)

'buys a secluded complex' is the wordplay.
'complex' is an anagram indicator.
'buys'+'a'+'secluded'='buysasecluded'
'buysasecluded' anagrammed gives 'CLAUDE DEBUSSY'.

(Other definitions for claude debussy that I've seen before include "French composer, d. 1918" , "French musician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
