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

'he composed a' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'phonic arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates an anagram.
'phonic' is an anagram of 'CHOPIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
