He composed a catalogue, we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
liszt
'he composed a' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'catalogue we hear' is the wordplay.
'catalogue' becomes 'list' (a catalogue is a list of items).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'list' sounds like 'LISZT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for liszt that I've seen before include "Hungarian composer, d. 1886" , "Brahms and - is rhyming slang for drunk" , "Pianist and composer (often associated with Brahms), d. 1886" , "classical composer" , "with his partner, drunk?" .)
