Soft, tasteful notes on the piano (3)
I believe the answer is:
bap
'soft tasteful' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'notes on the piano' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'ba' ().
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'ba'+'p'='BAP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bap that I've seen before include "Flattish bread roll" , "Large flat round roll" , "Big roll" , "Large soft bread roll" , "A soft flat bread roll" .)
