Person with exceptional musical skill (8)

I believe the answer is:

virtuoso

(Other definitions for virtuoso that I've seen before include "Musician of the highest technical skill" , "musical star" , "Paganini" , "Person who excels in technique, say musician" , "Brilliant player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
