I believe the answer is:

concerto

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

'musical work' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'harmony and love' is the wordplay.
'harmony' becomes 'concert' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'concert'+'o'='CONCERTO'

'in expansive' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for concerto that I've seen before include "Musical composition" , "Composition for orchestra in several movements" , "Musical piece for soloist(s) and orchestra" , "Composition for orchestra and soloist" , "Work for orchestra and soloist(s)" .)
