The Piano Puzzler Turns 10
Ten years ago this week, we introduced a brand new feature on our show. And the Piano Puzzler has been a huge hit with listeners ever since. Here's how it works. Every week, 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 imitating. Play along and see if you can solve this week's Piano Puzzler.
