Musician's skill on bass not bad (6)
I believe the answer is:
bartok
'musician's' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'skill on bass not bad' is the wordplay.
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'bass' becomes 'b' (musical abbreviation).
'not bad' becomes 'ok'.
'art' put after 'b' is 'bart'.
'bart'+'ok'='BARTOK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bartok that I've seen before include "classical composer" , "Hungarian-born composer, d. 1945" , "Hungarian composer and pianist, d. 1945" , "Bela -, nineteenth and twentieth century Hungarian composer" , "Hungarian composer of folk music" .)
