Play violin in recording for lover (4)
I believe the answer is:
beau
'lover' is the definition.
(beau is a kind of lover)
'play violin in recording' is the wordplay.
'play' becomes 'be' (as in playing a character).
'violin in recording' becomes 'au' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'be'+'au'='BEAU'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beau that I've seen before include "Male admirer; dandy" , "young man" , "Lover boy" , "Beloved" , "Male lover of a girl or young woman" .)
