Piano Puzzler

Pianist Bruce Adolphe

Pianist Bruce Adolphe

Each Wednesday, pianist and composer Bruce Adolphe adds a classical twist to the "name that tune" game. He re-writes a popular melody in the style of a classical composer and challenges a listener -- teamed with NPR's Fred Child -- to identify both. This week's contestant is 15-year old Joshua Espinoza of Greensboro, N.C.
