Piano Puzzler

There's a classical music radio show called Performance Today, it's an enjoyable show but my favorite part of the show happens on Wednesdays; the piano puzzler. The host of PT and Bruce Adolphe (a great pianist) get together with a listener (via the phone) and the listener's job is to guess the song and who's style it's played in that Bruce Adolphe plays; an example: a Beatles song in the style of Mozart or a tune from West Side Story in the style of Chopin. I like to play along at home, I can quite often get the song but I'm usually lost on the composer who's style it's in. I've improved as I've gone on listening. Listen, see if you can solve the puzzlers.
