Time for Another Piano Puzzler

Composer Bruce Adolphe joins host Fred Child with one of his entertaining weekly compositions. Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. A PT listener calls in, and tries to guess the composer whose style Adolphe is mimicking, and the hidden tune. Play along with this week's celebrity caller, the host of American Public Media's "Pipedreams," Michael Barone.
