"Found on the street" was written in July of 1998 for clarinettist Christie Vohs.

As the title indicates, folk-tunes and other street images inspired me to write the three pieces that form this work. The music is meant to excite and please musicians and audience alike: The outer movements have great motoric drive and contain virtuoso gestures for both performers, whereas the middle movement combines an essentially warm harmonious background and a gentle and easy to follow melody with a touch of melancholy.
