Doctor met it in Verdi compositions (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divertimenti

'compositions' is the definition.
(divertimento is a kind of composition)

'doctor met it in verdi' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'met'+'it'+'in'+'verdi'='metitinverdi'
'metitinverdi' anagrammed gives 'DIVERTIMENTI'.

(Other definitions for divertimenti that I've seen before include "entertaining pieces" , "compositions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
