Today's Piano Puzzler

​We have a new one this week.  The contestant is Joanna Zeleznik from Salt Point, New York.  I didn’t have the slightest idea of what the hidden song was – and neither did the contestant or host Fred Childe. However, on the second go-round, I got it within six notes.  (I don’t know if pianist Bruce Adolph brought out the song more, or if I was just focused more.)  I didn’t get the composer style, it’s probably the area of music I’m least adept at, which – given that composer style is not my strength -- covers a lot of ground, though the contestant did, on her second guess.  So, you may have a better chance than I did.
