Maestro adding last of paint to drunken cherubs (8)
I believe the answer is:
schubert
'maestro adding' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'last of paint to drunken cherubs' is the wordplay.
'last of' says to take the final letters.
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'drunken' indicates an anagram.
The final letter of 'paint' is 't'.
'cherubs' anagrammed gives 'schuber'.
't' after 'schuber' is 'SCHUBERT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for schubert that I've seen before include "Composer of song-cycle Winterreise" , "Austrian composer and prolific songwriter" , "Franz --, Viennese composer" , "Austrian composer, d. 1828" , "Franz -, Austrian composer (Trout Quintet, etc)" .)
