When Pauline Minevich and I discussed what form the concerto should take, we decided on a suite of dances representing time and place with music from ages past and different countries. Pauline wanted a Klesmer movement since she and her husband, violinist Ed Minevich, have played in Klesmer bands in the past and have the style down, not to mention the clarinet is one of the principal Klesmer instruments with a technique all its own bringing the concerto to a very rousing and personal finish. There are two versions of this movement in case a Klesmer violinist isn't handy. The flute and saxophone takes up the violin part.
