Zappa composes a waltz
It seems to me, a waltz form is pretty straightforward to compose . You just need a basic understanding of chord progression in 3/4 time
Zappa is guitar God. His layering with the guitar is beautiful

Zappa wrote some sensational orchestral music in the 80's, who knows what he might have accomplished if his life hadn't been cut short.
Duke of Prunes.
I saw drummer Attilio Terlizzi with Dwezil Zappa's band at the Phoenix.

You can hear the typical Zappa signature and know in a few notes you have been Zapped
The sound of a triad with the second note atonal - or something like that as I am not musically literate - combined with wayward drumming, horns playing the triad and guitar shredding
It is not classical music or jazz or rock it is Zappa
It is fun to listen to

Zoot your musical knowledge is superior to mine. I go by feeling and the ability to separate what is genuine (Zappa) and what is fake (Bon Jovi).

One does not need knowledge to love music. Music is a story told with emotion instead of words. Mozart was brilliant at this expression . Refer to my post 573 on Mozart. Now you understand Mozart
Ruth Underwood was studying the xylophone at Julliard when she saw Zappa perform.
Ruth begged Zappa for an audition then dropped out of Julliard and joined The Mothers and never looked back
Ruth gives an explaination of Zappa music .
I said Zappa lost the second note of the triad and dropped down to atonal note but Ruth explains he drops down the third note .
This piece is two chords, instead of three chord triads, but retains the Zappa atonal sound with sharps and flats instead of the expected whole notes

It is appropriate to discuss rock stars in classical music
because some are the modern versions of classical composers
Pink Floyd is another example
Zappa was great live as he never overdubs the recording in a lab and each time he performs it is different. Other bands perform the exact same notes to perfection
Hendrix was the same as Zappa in live shows
