verdi

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

'composer' is the definition.
(Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi)

'capacity for drive' is the wordplay.
'drive' can be anagrammed to 'VERDI'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
