untied

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

'without restraint' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'performing in duet' is the wordplay.
'performing' is an anagram indicator (the letters move around or 'perform').
'in'+'duet'='induet'
'induet' anagrammed gives 'UNTIED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for untied that I've seen before include "Released from 19" , "Lacking any fetters" , "'Unfastened, lace say (6)'" , "Disconnected" , "Unfastened, unlaced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
