A positive force in the Montana music landscape, pianist Steven Hesla requested a new piano concerto from Maslanka, which could be played with better high school ensembles around the state. Maslanka wrote Concerto No. 2, also in five movements, each movement arising out of a backdrop of inspiration, to meet that request. Hesla recorded the concerto on Naxos with the Illinois State University Wind Symphony. See a YouTube performance by Uschi Reifenberg (pno.) and Sinfonisches Blasorchester Mannheim with Tobias Mahl conducting.
