Every week on Performance Today™, Bruce Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. We get one of our listeners on the phone, and our caller listens to Bruce play his Piano Puzzler™. They then try to do two things: name the hidden tune, and name the composer whose style Bruce is mimicking. From American Public Media.

Light Hearted Musical Fun!

A fun show to listen to if you love classical music. It's amazing how Bruce Adolphe week after week manages to come up with a new exciting mesh up composition based on two different songs that ordinarilly have nothing to do with the other.
