Bruce Adolphe and the Piano Puzzler
Composer Bruce Adolphe returns to the PT studios with our weekly classical music game, the Piano Puzzler. Every week he re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. One of our listeners calls in and tries to name the tune and the composer whose style Bruce is imitating. Also -- the Orion Quartet plays the opening section from the Art of Fugue, by Bach, in concert at the 92nd Street Y in New York. And Valery Gergiev leads the London Symphony Orchestra in a thrilling performance of...a piece we can't name, because it would give away the answer to the puzzler!
