Weekend of October 16, 2010
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!
