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. Today's very special contestant is Alan Fletcher, president and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School in Colorado. Tune in to see if he managed to decipher this week's Piano Puzzler.
