Empty tune Dante composed about knight (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

untenanted

'empty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tune dante composed about knight' is the wordplay.
'composed' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'knight' becomes 'N' (chess abbreviation).
'tune'+'dante'='tunedante'
'tunedante' anagrammed gives 'untenated'.
'untenated' going around 'n' is 'UNTENANTED'.
