Elegy for Piano and Three Voices

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Stacey’s mother has disappeared. Alzheimer’s has taken her and left a shell. Except, one night, Stacey—a composer who has given up everything to care for her mother—can’t take it any more. She sits at the piano and plays Bach.

The music reveals amazing things, things Stacey does not expect, things she cannot hope for, things she knows will soon vanish forever.
