Today's Piano Puzzler

From the archives.  The contestant is Ivan Plis from Washington, D.C.  Like the contestant, I didn’t have a clue what the hidden song was, though I could sort of hear it.  Nor could I get it on the second go-round even knowing the composer.  I did finally get it fairly quickly on the third pass but that’s only when composer Bruce Adolph pulled the song out more, so it doesn’t count for points, though for relief.  It’s pretty hard.  As for the composer style, it’s one that I always think could overlap with several who I find somewhat similar and I’m not knowledgeable enough to pick out the differences.
