Series of notes from wretched pager work – I must come in (8)
I believe the answer is:
arpeggio
'series of notes' is the definition.
'arpeggio' can be an answer for 'notes' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'series of' bit.
'wretched pager work i must come in' is the wordplay.
'wretched' is an anagram indicator.
'work' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'must come in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'go' enclosing 'i' is 'gio'.
'pager' with letters rearranged gives 'arpeg'.
'arpeg'+'gio'='ARPEGGIO'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arpeggio that I've seen before include "Notes of chord played separately" , "Split chord" , "Notes of a chord played in rapid succession" , "Notes of a musical chord played in succession" , "Notes of a chord sounded separately" .)
