From the archives. This week’s contestant is David Harris from Farmer City, Illinois. I didn’t have a clue with the hidden song, and it’s very well-known. I’d say it was very well-hidden, too, but the contestant got it right away. But even when pianist-composer Bruce Adolphe played the piece again, I could barely hear it, except for a few notes. And I had no idea what the composer style was, since the music wasn’t the style I most known the composer for. You may do better.

From the archives. This week's contestant is Jonathan Jager from Los Angeles, California. I got the hidden song fairly early, and know I should have gotten the composer style, it had such a familiarity to it, but my guess was off. Happily, host Fred Child was stumped, as well, so I don't feel alone.
From the Archives. The contestant is Andrew Conkling from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was right about one thing: when I saw that the Puzzler was almost 18 minutes, I knew that I wouldn’t stand a chance. And I was right! Even composer Bruce Adolph, after the piece finished said, “I think this is really hard.” And it was. The composer style is guessable, and the contestant did get it, though only after a wrong guess and directional hint. But even host Fred Child was stumped with the hidden song and only later thought he finally figured it out. (We don’t find out if he was right, since the contestant – with a hint – makes a correct guess.)
We have a new one this week. The contestant is Belinda Sterling from Twin Lake, Michigan. I got the hidden song pretty quickly, which becomes even more clear as the song goes on. But I couldn’t put my finger on the composer style, which I should have gotten because I like the composer, though I mostly like other genres of his music.
From the archives. This week's contestant is Brian Hunke from Richmond, Virginia. The composer style genre is one of those which (for me) could be one of almost half a dozen, and not one I know well. But I actually got it right – which is largely because the composer is one of the few from that genre who I knew better than most of the others. As for the hidden song…well, let’s just say I thought it was wonderfully hidden and didn’t get it. (I did hear a hidden song, it’s just not the one that was hidden.) From the archives. The contestant this week is Anne Nelson from Portland, Maine. I didn't have a clue. It's extremely nice, though. And very guessable. In fact, the composer style is one of my favorites, but I also seem not to get him. And while I could hear the hidden song, and it sounded SO familiar -- and it turned out to be -- I just couldn't get it, since most of it is so well hidden. In fact, even pianist Bruce Adolphe acknowledged that if anyone could guess correctly they should get a special prize since he was so pleased with how well it was hidden. I didn't get the prize.
