Major Elgar composition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

large

'major' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'elgar composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator.
'elgar' anagrammed gives 'LARGE'.

(Other definitions for large that I've seen before include "Gross" , "One has liberty to be at it" , "Little's late partner" , "Strapping" , "Sizable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
