Full range of notes expressed in sad piano movement (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diapason

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'full range of notes expressed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'sad piano movement' is the wordplay.
'movement' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move around).
'sad'+'piano'='sadpiano'
'sadpiano' anagrammed gives 'DIAPASON'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diapason that I've seen before include "Organ stop; sad piano (anag.)" , "tuning fork" , "Othello's enemy" , "Entire range of musical instrument or voice" .)
