Question
Hi - Mr. Froom
This clip is from last weeks airing of NH NPR Radio
(As it Happens) It features the Canadian pianist Gonzales.
Can someone identify the name of this clip?
or at least the chord progression?
(the link appears down below)

Thanks Ever So Much!

Answer
It isn't classical music.  It probably is just that pianist improvising something in a sort-of jazz style.  It may or may not have a name.

The chord progression is (in jazz terminology, where F/C means an F major chord over a c bass):

cm gm cm gm cm gm cm gm (one beat each) = intro

cm gm cm gm cm gm cm gm (one beat each) = tune once

cm gm cm gm cm gm cm cm (one beat each) = tune second time

fm/C  fm/C Bb Eb cm gm cm cm (one beat each) = bridge first part

fm/C  fm/C Bb Eb dm G C C7 (one beat each) = bridge second part

fade out occurs over F/C (two beats)
