Radiance, In Memory of Christina Tarsell 鋼琴五重奏

要完成一位失去女兒的悲痛母親的委託是一項艱巨的任務，但萊什諾夫卻創作了一首鋼琴五重奏，捕捉到了這位年輕女性的精髓以及她逝去時的悲傷。[光芒]在開篇中將青春期的活潑起伏與悲劇性喪女的陰鬱情緒形成鮮明對比。樂曲以明亮的上升線條開場，這也是作品的主要動機。之後，黑暗、高聳的線條佔據了主導地位。出人意料的是，樂曲在輕快中結束，以最初旋律的空靈迴響達到高潮，給人一種蛻變的感覺。(艾米莉-塔塞爾）

原文簡介:
It is a difficult task to answer a commission from a grieving mother on the loss of her daughter, but Leshnoff has crafted a piano quintet that captures the young woman's essence along with the sorrow at her passing. "[Radiance] contrasts the lively ups and downs of youth in the opening with the darker mood of tragic loss. The piece opens with bright rising lines, the principal motive of the work, and progresses from a contemplative moment. Afterwards, dark, soaring lines predominate. Surprisingly, the piece resolves in light, culminating with an ethereal echo of the initial melody, leaving us with a sense of transformation." (Emily Tarsell)
