Performance composed of seven out of eight clarinet pieces (7)
I believe the answer is:
recital
'performance' is the definition.
(I know that recital is a type of performance)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "17 performance, for example" , "Article found in performance" , "Enumeration of facts" , "Chamber music concert" , "Concert performance" .)
