Do signals, somehow producing a series of notes, played rapidly (9)
I believe the answer is:
glissando
'a series of notes played rapidly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'do signals somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'do'+'signals'='dosignals'
'dosignals' anagrammed gives 'GLISSANDO'.
'producing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glissando that I've seen before include "Re-interpreting this musical direction" , "Musical flourish" , "trombone slide, for example" , "note series rapidly executed" , "Sliding effect in moving from one musical note to another" .)
