Today's Piano Puzzler

​From the archives.  This week's contestant is Allison Tolz from Montreal, Quebec.  And I didn't get either the hidden song or composer style.  It's a tough one.  I will say, though, that my first guess for composer style was one of the three that the contestant thought it might be -- and the correct answer has a connection to them.  So, I made another guess and was right.  When composer Bruce Adolph slowed the piece down, I did guess the hidden song right before host Fred Child gave a big clue -- though that doesn't count either.  I'll add that, once knowing what the hidden song is,  and it's very famous, I still had a very difficult time picking it out.  There are a few places where you have a chance of guessing it -- but if you do, and get the composer style, too...hat's off!
