Frisco Frazzle is a ragtime delight and in this transcription for recorder quintet, a terrific solo piece for the 1st tenor. Its form is AABBACCB with a 4-bar introduction whereby the ABBA- and CCB-strains are in the major keys of G and C respectively. The ABBA-strains are rippling passages of sixteenths blended with an admixture of syncopation styles with the 1st tenor having all the say. In the final CCB-strains he or she is joined by the 2nd tenor in close harmony and the 3rd tenor too for a few moments of glory. A great ensemble piece!
