Today's Piano Puzzler
Well, here’s a rarity – this is not from the archives, it’s a new one! From the archives. This week's contestant is Mitchell Shapiro from Fort Lee, New Jersey. And sorry, you’re on your own on this one. There were a couple points where I could hear a theme that had a touch of familiarity, but I couldn’t go any further. However, even host Fred Child couldn’t get the song, so I know I’m in good company. And the thing is…it’s a massively popular song, one I dearly love. But man, is it well-hidden. Though once you know, and pianist Bruce Adolphe pays it again, you can hear it all. Moreover, the composer style was one of my favorite composers, though not for this type of music. (At one point, almost laughingly, I wondered if it was that composer, since in the past I’ve made the same mistake.) So, I couldn't that that, either.
