Musicians list Faust as awkward (9)
I believe the answer is:
flautists
'musicians' is the definition.
(flautist is a kind of musician)
'list faust as awkward' is the wordplay.
'as awkward' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'list'+'faust'='listfaust'
'listfaust' with letters rearranged gives 'FLAUTISTS'.
(Another definition for flautists that I've seen is " Source of wind music".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
