Tali or Toli? for Sopranino Recorder, Curtal, and Continuo Organ

Tali or Toli? was inspired by a conversation with curtal and shawm player Frank Jones, who was telling me about two of his favorite early Baroque composers -- Antonio Bertali and Giovanni Antonio Bertoli -- and trying to recall which one had written a particular sonata for treble recorder, baroque bassoon and continuo he had played some years ago with recorder player Cathy Reuben.  He went on to challenge me to write a piece for sopranino recorder and curtal. . .although, there is a good possibility that he might have been joking. . .ah, well, too late now!  Tali or Toli? is dedicated to Frank Jones, his love of the organ, and his decades-long friendship with Cathy.
