Today's Piano Puzzler

We have a new one this week.  The contestants are Lyle and Donna Jaffe from Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  I really didn’t have a clue, even though at least for the hidden song I could tell it was one I should know.  And I knew I’d be in trouble when I saw the episode was 15 minutes long.  That usually suggests a lot of discussion and playing the piece again to give a second chance.  Which was the case, because the contests were at a loss.  The best I can say is that I at least got the period of music right, for the composer style, but that’s not saying much.  And yes, the hidden song is well-known (just very well-hidden for me, even when told was song it was and played again) – as is the composer style, but not one I would (nor did) recognize.
