Violins playing, but no love at first sight (6)
I believe the answer is:
vision
'sight' is the definition.
(I know that sight can be written as vision)
'violins playing but no love at first' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'playing' could be 'on' (on can mean playing or performing) and 'on' is found in the answer.
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vision that I've seen before include "With it one perceives" , "Sight or insight" , "Mental image (of future)" , "Dream" , "Perception by eye" .)
