Today's Piano Puzzler
From the archives. The contestant this week is Curtis Funk of Niskayuna, New York. Even though the hidden song didn’t seem all that well-hidden, I didn’t have a clue what it was, and neither did the contestant -- who was a music teacher. And he couldn’t get it either. (And I got the sense that host Fred Child may not have either.) When pianist Bruce Adolphe finally gave the name, I only vaguely, sort of, kind of recognized the name of the song, but couldn’t have sung any of it. So, this one will be tough for most, I think. Though some may be able to get it, since there are things about it that are well-known. As for the composer style, it’s an area I’m not overly familiar with but I narrowed it to two possibilities – and it was the two possibilities that the contestant guessed. He guessed right, I guessed wrong. So, it was an o-fer for me.
