Today's Piano Puzzler
From the archives. The contestant this week is Betty Oram from Brooklyn, New York. I could hear the hidden song, and aspects of it were familiar, but not enough I thought for me to get it. I only had one guess – and to my great surprise, I was right. To my equal surprise, I’m amazed that the contestant didn’t get it even after composer-pianist Bruce Adolphe played the song straight out with no embellishment for the third time around…and she even knew the title, and said it, yet still couldn’t place it as the song – and it’s a pretty famous song for its, well, I’ll say “era,” without giving anything away. As for the composer style, it’s one of those eras where there are about three of four composers who, to me, sound similar, so I made a guess, and was wrong.
