Notes sublime Rodin piece returned (2-2-2)
I believe the answer is:
do-re-mi
'notes' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Musical notes' mean 'do-re-mi' so perhaps 'notes' could also mean 'do-re-mi')
'sublime rodin piece returned' is the wordplay.
'piece' indicates a hidden word.
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'imerod' is hidden within 'sublime rodin'.
'imerod' reversed gives 'DO-RE-MI'.
(Other definitions for do-re-mi that I've seen before include "Tonic Sol-fa song" , "Musical notes" .)
