Today's Piano Puzzler

​From the archives.  This week's contestant is Richard Baum from Houston, Texas.  On the positive side, I was able to get the composer style.  On the other side of the coin, I had trouble with the hidden song, and I think most people will have trouble, too.  However, I'm almost ready to give myself a win on it, or at the very least bonus points.  I guessed the composer of the hidden song, and even had a strong feeling of what it's from (and was right) -- and though I couldn't think of the song's proper name, my thought was, "It sort of sounds like that song whose title is something like..."  And that's what it was.


 


It's not a totally unknown song -- and its composer is renowned, and so is the encompassing work.  But this isn't one of its better-known tunes.
