'pianist' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'invite anger looking up secure' is the wordplay.
'invite' becomes 'ask' (I've seen this in another clue).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'looking up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in a down clue, letters go up).
'secure' becomes 'tie' (tying is a kind of securing).
'ask'+'ire'='askire'
'askire' written backwards gives 'eriksa'.
'eriksa'+'tie'='ERIK SATIE'
