STEP À TI-PHONSE, LE. French-Canadian, Reel (2/4 or cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Hart & Sandell): AABB’ (Remon & Bouchard). The prefix ‘ti’ means ‘little’, and the title translates as ‘little Alphonse’s (favorite) step-dance (tune)’. The tune is irregular, with the ‘A’ part half as l ong as the ‘B’ part. According to Alain, Alphonse was a good stepdancer, "petit Alphonse", from St-Basile-de-Portneuf, Québec, who especially liked this tune.
