The Piano Puzzler
This weekend 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. See if you can guess what Bruce is up to, on this weekend's Piano Puzzler.
