Well, time to put you out of your misery.....
4. Board vehicle after a note (6) = CHOPIN ("Hop in" after "C")
9. Yes, Spanish Citizen backs up to spot (7) = XENAKIS ("Si, Kane" reversed after "X" (X marks the spot))
So, please, Ian - let us know the absolutist!

Very well: the clue was 'Symptom of drunkenness on monarch carrying an emblem of freedom makes for absolutist (8 )' Symptom of drunkeness = Hic, on monarch = k, carrying 'an', emblem of freedom = sl (Statue of Liberty - OK, let's not get into a political debate about how apposite that is  ), so Hick carries ansl, giving Hanslick, known for his thoughts on absolute music! |

OK - a bit easier one.
Prize comes from him? Look at online source, but we get confused with Ian's incorporations. (10).

#131. Clue eh .. Well aa bb cc er .... DD ? Is it a composer ? or what ? aa, bb, yes, but not cc, therefore not D.D., yes it is a composer The original cryptic clue only references the surname. The hint references the first and second initials. If you find the hint confusing, ignore it and go back to Chalumeauphile member usurps you in size comparison verdict, despite truncation. ( 8 ) |

Is the 'chalumeauphile member', Mr Sudden?

I take it we're looking for a 6 letter size comparison verdict?

If it's not cc, what is it?
