Perform Beethoven's fifth, or just one note (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doh

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just one note' is the definition.
'doh' can be an answer for 'note' (alternative spelling of 'do' as in do re mi). I am not sure about the 'just one' bit.

'perform beethoven's fifth' is the wordplay.
'perform' becomes 'do' (synonyms).
'beethoven's fifth' becomes 'h' (5th letter of 'beethoven').
'do'+'h'='DOH'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doh that I've seen before include "Note; exclamation" , "First note of tonic sol-fa scale" , "for 7 [HOMER] of course!" , "annoyed expression" , "whoops!" .)
