Weekend of February 11, 2012
The Piano Puzzler
Every week on our Piano Puzzler, composer Bruce Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. We get one of our listeners on the phone to try to guess the tune and the composer Bruce is mimicking. Play along. See if you can guess the tune and the composer.
NOTE: Through our agreement with the Mozart Week Festival, the weekend show is not available for web audio streaming. To listen to the Piano Puzzler, click here.
