Piano Puzzler - Podcast Rankings and reviews

My kiddo and I thoroughly enjoy listening to this show and try to guess the composer and piece. Bruce Adolphe is so talented! 🎹 I wish the pieces were available to listen to on their own, their marvelous!

The Piano Puzzler has been going on for years, and I did not know about it. I wish I could find every single episode! I enjoy the new compositions from Bruce each week. I enjoy finding the tune, which is easy for me, and guessing the composer, which is not so easy. even for those not trained in music, but who love classical music, this is a winner.

I’ve learned so much about different composers and their styles that set them apart from other composers. Also I’m getting to know composers who I’ve never heard. The hidden tunes are just plain fun-and frustrating when they are right there on the tip of the tongue but you really have to use your noggen to identify it. I listen to weekly episodes while walking my dog in the morning. She looks at me strangely when I get a Piano Puzzler correct and let out a very happy “Yes”!

I love this podcast and the talented Bruce and would love to see him branch out with a wider range of some newer pieces that folks under 40 might know. The same handful of American Songbook pieces frequently surface - makes it easier to guess but would love to see what Bruce could do with something from the 21st c!
