Piano Puzzler, and Bassoon Props
Every Wednesday on PT, it's our Piano Puzzler. Composer Bruce Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a great classical composer. We get a listener on the phone who tries to guess the hidden tune, and the composer whose style Bruce is mimicking. And...who's looking out for bassoonists? PT, that's who. We'll feature one of our favorite bassoon soloists, Peter Kolkay, in a concert performance of a Bassoon Quartet by Francois Devienne, from the OK Mozart Festival, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. And we'll point out a bassoon highlight in Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, as we hear the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra in concert in Copenhagen.
