Pain encountered in Bach etudes (4)
I believe the answer is:
ache
'pain' is the definition.
(ache is a kind of pain)
'in bach etudes' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ACHE' is hidden within 'bach etudes'.
'encountered' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ache that I've seen before include "Feel pain" , "Cause pain" , "Play up" , "Take an aspirin for it" , "Nagging pain" .)
