Today's Piano Puzzler

This week's contestant is Andy Zerman from New York, NY.  I was pleased, and a bit surprised that I got the composer whose style the song is written in.  But I was stumped -- utterly stumped by the hidden song.  No clue.  Oddly, I thought it might be one of those "trick songs" that pianist Bruce Adolphe sometimes does, where the song isn't a popular song, but something from the classical world.  It wasn't that, but it turns out I had a good reason to think that.  (I shall say no more.)  Even when he slowed down the song and highlighted it, I didn't know.  Only when I started at the main theme and focus on that did I "guess" it.  That one theme, when you know what to listen for, is extremely clear.  But the rest is very well hidden.  Nice piece, though...
