Show 132: Versions-New tunes from Old

[Added on 2015/7/18:  This used to be called Show 32.  I've renumbered the shows, so that this one is Show132.  The first digit will indicate which series the show is from: 1 for the first cycle, 2 for this second cycle, and so on.  For instance, the July 4th show for this year will be numbered numbered Show201, and so on.  If you didn't figure this out yet, my first show aired the week of July 4th, 2014.]
 
This show is concerned with pairs of pieces or performances, either contrasting performances of the same piece, or a pair of pieces, one derived from the other.

For next week:  I'm planning to present a Name That Tune type quiz.  All the mystery tunes will be from Archie's Archives broadcasts.
