Bruce Adolphe's Piano Puzzler
Every Wednesday, composer Bruce Adolphe joins host Fred Child and a PT listener for our Piano Puzzler. Bruce re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer, and plays his creation on the PT piano. Our listener tries to guess the hidden tune, and the composer whose style Bruce is mimicking. Play along in hour 1 of today's show! And in hour 2, enjoy a great young American ensemble, the Escher Quartet, playing Beethoven's String Quartet No. 8.
