Today's Piano Puzzler

From the archives. This week's contestant is Jim Weeg of Cedar Falls, Iowa.  In an odd way, I almost got the full puzzle.  I did get the composer style, which is not as often the case.  And my guess for the hidden song (which I thought was likely wrong) was the same as the contestant’s – and we were indeed both wrong.  Even on a second listening, where composer Bruce Adolphe slowed things down and pulled the song out more, neither I or the contestant still had a clue.  Amazingly and impressively, host Fred Childe was able to hear it on second play (though it even took him that slowed-down version).  It’s beautifully done, but really tough.
