Today's Piano Puzzler

We have a new one this week.  The contestant is Lloyd Altman from New York City.  If you don't get the hidden song within maybe about three notes (once the hidden song kicks in), you either aren't trying or aren't listening.  And I got the composer style pretty quickly, as well, which is extremely rare for me.  Interestingly, or not (though it was for me…), the piece I thought it might have been based on - though there were enough diversion from that, so I wasn't sure - is not what composer Bruce Adolph said was its source, though he did mention the piece I had in mind as overlapping a bit with the selection.  So, I was glad for that.
