Today's Piano Puzzler

​We have a new one this week, not from the archives.  The contestants today are Laura Pawuk and Rick Adler from Ypsilanti, Michigan.  I surprised myself by being right with the composer style.  And like the contestants, when it came to the hidden song, I was “stumped.”  Even when composer Bruce Adolph played it a second time to bring the song out more. But then even host Fred Childe didn’t have a clue.  Including when Adolph just started playing passages.  I finally got it – and it’s incredibly well-known -- but then, everyone else was still (surprisingly) stumped.  As well-known as the song is, it is so well-hidden that it’s buried.  In fact, even knowing the song, when he played it again all the way through, I couldn’t hear it.  Only when he had focused it to bring the song out.  So, good luck!
