13ac. Austrian composer's especially good line for bass (6) LA?N?R

The final 'R' is from the second 'R' in 8d: Rolls for large property owners, energetic types(8) T?R??E?S which I assume is TERRIERS which I can't parse.

I'm all set to kick myself for the 'Doh!' moment :-)

Lannner- banner(especially good) with 'l' for 'b'
Question Author
Many thanks dannyk. Not quite a 'Doh' moment as that meaning of 'banner' is new to me.

And the parsing for 'terriers' anyone?
Is there a word 'telier', as in hotelier? If so RR(Rolls Royce) would replace L (large).
No, it's just a double definition. Terrier, a register for landed estates, is in Chambers.
Ah! so it is rolls as in registers.Ta nac.

Many thanks Neveracrossword. Memo to self: check Chambers more often!
Greyfox, glad I could help with that (and it's something I too have done before, forgotten to look in Chambers).

Danny, thanks.
