butchers

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

'sellers of meat' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'schubert composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator (letters arranged or composed in a different order).
'schubert' anagrammed gives 'BUTCHERS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for butchers that I've seen before include "Look (slang) - Smithfield Market workers" , "They prepare and/or sell meat" , "Meat shop (look!)" , "Animal killers in Schubert composition" , "Meat-workers" .)
