Little piece of music that turns up again (5)
I believe the answer is:
minim
'little piece of music that turns up again' is the definition.
'minim' can be an answer for 'little' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.
'little piece of music' is the wordplay.
'little' becomes 'mini'.
'piece of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'music' is 'm'.
'mini'+'m'='MINIM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minim that I've seen before include "Quarter of a breve" , "A note in music, half as long as a semi-breve- it's a palindrome" , "Note of two crotchets" , "Two crotchets in one" , "note or > dose" .)
