Dynasty Ride — is that one from Schubert? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

song cycle

'is that one from schubert?' is the definition.
(Franz Schubert wrote song cycles)

'dynasty ride' is the wordplay.
'dynasty' becomes 'Song' (Song was a Chinese dynasty).
'ride' becomes 'cycle' (to cycle is to ride a bicycle).
'song'+'cycle'='SONG CYCLE'

(Other definitions for song cycle that I've seen before include "piano's accompaniment to this?" , "Winter journey, for example" , "representation of Daisy's transport?" , "Series of musical settings" , "Vocal work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
