Performer elicits art when playing (10)
I believe the answer is:
recitalist
'performer' is the definition.
(recitalist is a kind of performer)
'elicits art when playing' is the wordplay.
'when playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'elicits'+'art'='elicitsart'
'elicitsart' anagrammed gives 'RECITALIST'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
