Wound the Italian teetotaller playing second piece for composer (9)
I believe the answer is:
scarlatti
'for composer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'wound the italian teetotaller playing second piece' is the wordplay.
'wound' becomes 'scar' (I've seen this before).
'the italian' becomes 'la' ('the' in Italian).
'teetotaller playing' becomes 'tt' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'second piece' becomes 'i' (tnd letter of 'piece').
'scar'+'la'+'tt'+'i'='SCARLATTI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scarlatti that I've seen before include "Italian composer of many keyboard works" , "Composer - trails cat (anag)" , "Domenico -, seventeenth to eighteenth century Italian composer" , "Seventeenth to eighteen cetury Italian composer (father or son)" , "Italian scoring" .)
