Piano Puzzler, and Glass (not Philip) in a Cave
Every week, composer Bruce Adolphe joins PT host Fred Child with a Piano Puzzler. Bruce re-writes a familiar tune in the style of classical composer. A PT listener calls in and tries to guess two things: the name of the composer whose style Bruce is imitating, and the name of the hidden tune. Bruce Adolphe has a brand new puzzler this week, play along and see if you can name the composer and the tune. And our most unusual concert highlight of the year (so far!): Thomas Bloch plays his glass harmonica in a limestone cave in northeast Spain. Bloch plays an eerie 2-minute version of "Crystal Silence" by Chick Corea.
