Ian Pomerantz, your response pointing towards your participation on the Sephardic musicology roundtable from a few years ago, reminded me. My grandfather's family was very steeped in the Turkish Maftirim tradition, his grandfather and great-grandfather were Hazanim in Izmir. Dov Cohen found this extract from the Izmirli newspaper "El Nouvelista" concerning my great-great grandfather Hazan Yaacov Rebi and his nephew-in-law the famed Hazan Itzhak Algazi and their participation in teaching Turkish Classical music in the community. He provides the following transliteration to latin characters and summary. "El Fasil de Mahur: komo lo anunsiamos a tiempo, el fasil de Mahur si enseniya desde el 3 Tevet, en el Kahal Kadosh [synagogue] "Portugal", mezo los Maestros [Shemtov] Shikiar, [Haim] Alazraki, [Itzhak]Algazi i [Yaacov] Rebi. Nos plaze de saber ke el publico esta rendiendose a el Kahal Kadosh por asistir a las repetisiones, ke se azen kon orden i harmonia. El kore tambien sintir el Fasil de Dugia del Maestro Shikiar. I sea del uno komo del otro fasil todo salen entusiasmados.
