Lag or break in slow movement (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

largo

'slow movement' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lag or break' is the wordplay.
'break' indicates an anagram.
'lag'+'or'='lagor'
'lagor' anagrammed gives 'LARGO'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for largo that I've seen before include "(Musically) slow in tempo and broad in manner" , "Deliberately" , "Moderately slowly" , "Goldfinger part" , "In a slow tempo (mus.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
