Composer with part upset matchless fellow (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bachelor

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

'matchless fellow' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'composer with part upset' is the wordplay.
'composer' becomes 'bach' (Bach is an example).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'part' becomes 'role' (eg a theatrical role).
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'role' written backwards gives 'elor'.
'bach'+'elor'='BACHELOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bachelor that I've seen before include "He's not married" , "leading man at start of Wedding Cantata" , "Non-married male" , "Single man" , "Graduate" .)
