Duet with lyre I played intelligently (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eruditely

'intelligently' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'duet with lyre i played' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'played' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lyre'+'i'='lyrei'
'duet' after 'lyrei' is 'lyreiduet'.
'lyreiduet' anagrammed gives 'ERUDITELY'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
