Today's Piano Puzzler

From the archives.  The contestant is Rivkah Meder from Richmond, Virginia.  You know it’s going to be a tough one when host Fred Child says, “That was beautiful.  Whatever it is.”  One of the contestant’s guesses for the composer style was the same as mine – and wrong.  And both the contestant and Child had no idea of the hidden song – nor did I.  We all thought we heard a tune in there, but while the remnants of song were the same, it was wrong, as well.  But there’s a good reason for that:  it's known, but not well-known at all.  So – good luck!  But, yes, it is beautiful.
