Elgar's most famous Variation in D minor? (6)
I believe the answer is:
nimrod
'elgar's most famous' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'variation in d minor?' is the wordplay.
'variation in' indicates anagramming the letters.
'd'+'minor'='dminor'
'dminor' with letters rearranged gives 'NIMROD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nimrod that I've seen before include "Skilful hunter (Genesis)" , "Dim Ron was a bad Biblical hunter" , "Mighty hunter of Genesis" , "OT hunter" , "Biblical hunter - aircraft" .)
