Live musical turns including Chopin's first (6)
I believe the answer is:
active
'live' is the definition.
('active' can be similar in meaning to 'live')
'musical turns including chopin's first' is the wordplay.
'musical' becomes 'evita' (I've seen this before).
'turns' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'including' is an insertion indicator.
'first' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'chopins' is 'c'.
'evita' in reverse letter order is 'ative'.
'ative' enclosing 'c' is 'ACTIVE'.
(Other definitions for active that I've seen before include "Nimble" , "Keeping busy, not lazy" , "Moving frequently" , "(Of mind) alert, lively" , "erupting periodically" .)
