How does or how can one identify a piece that they have heard but do not kbow?
Maybe newer devices such as SIRI are or can be programmed to recognise all music?

Shazam is an app that does a pretty good job. Never tried it with classical, however.

Musixmatch is another.

In some cases the station will post a playlist on their web site. In at least one case (before voice tracking), I have actually called the station and asked them.

Shazaam works pretty well although the classical is spotty. In the car, RDS usually works for the name of the piece.

Or, if worse comes to worse, post a snippet and let the classical music lovers have a go at it.

Here is what happened:
My alarm clock radio woke me up and the service had a piece on that I knew but by the time I could drag myself over to shut it off,
they had advanced to several more pieces.
I can hum it but nothing more.

There was a time when you could have gone to a nearby record store, hum it for one of the staffers, and they'd tell you what it was.

Perhaps someone here can give me an answer to JSB's particular violin solo played during the first 3/7 of this link.

It's the Partita for Solo Violin No. 3 in E major, BWV 1006.

That was still possible in NYC's Flatiron District before the COVID-19 outbreak.
