Composer non-believer? In one! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paganini

'composer' is the definition.
(I know that Paganini is a composer)

'non-believer? in one' is the wordplay.
'non-believer?' becomes 'pagan' (I've seen this in another clue).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'pagan'+'in'+'i'='PAGANINI'

(Other definitions for paganini that I've seen before include "Famous Italian violinist" , "Violin virtuoso and composer" , "Famous violin virtuoso" , "Niccolo _; Italian composer" , "One on the fiddle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
