Noise after composer of noteless music shut up (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
caged in
'noteless music shut up' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'noise after composer' is the wordplay.
'noise' becomes 'din' (din can mean a loud noise or disturbance).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'composer' becomes 'cage' (I've seen this before).
'din' put after 'cage' is 'CAGED IN'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
