German-born composer frequently heard another composer (9)
I believe the answer is:
offenbach
'composer' is the definition.
(I know that Offenbach is an composer)
'german-born composer frequently heard another' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'born' could be 'n' and 'n' is located in the answer.
'composer' could be 'bach' (Johann Sebastian Bach) and 'bach' is found within the answer.
'heard' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'another' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offenbach that I've seen before include "Orpheus in the Underworld composer" , "city on the River Main" , "Composer of operettas" , "another" , "Cancan composer" .)
