Liable to have start of music replacing run in trumpet (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

to blame

'liable' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'to have start of music replacing run in trumpet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'music' could be 'me' and 'me' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
