    When I see and hear people play Zappa's music so well....I sometimes wish Frank was still around to see and listen too. That was fabulous!

    Wonderful arrangement beautifully played, not to mention the fact that she has memorised half an hour of Frank's complex music, which, itself, is an astonishing feat. Brava! ❤🎉

    Utterly prodigious. Piano medleys have become my favourite way of listening to Frank Zappa's music. The pure, almost abstracted, beauty.

    As a life long Zappa fanatic I thought this was really beautiful and it shows musicianship beyond her years. I hope she has a beautiful life in music.

    My God!! You truly brought out how Frank's music could be brought out solo on piano, and you're how old?? Tears have come because I've been a Zappa fan since 1980 and there is no other music like it!! I applaud you big time!!!!!!!!!!

    “Easy Meat” has an elegance that’s hard to find when there are the sexist lyrics. “Echidna’s Art” is AMAZING. Nice cross-hands technique.

    Arigato Gozai Masu Risa-chan! Frank would have been really impressed with your playing and as Frank used to say "you put the eyebrows" on the music. Meaning that you put emotion and humor into the music that needs to be there or it just isn't Zappa music which is the BEST!!! I've been a Zappa fan since I was about 11 years old and I'm 55 years old now. Not only did I get to see him in concert almost 30 times. I also got to go to his house three times and two of those times were for interviews. Frank was not only one of the greatest composers eve, he was also a genius in so many other ways. And the best thing about Frank was that he was a humble and gracious person and he was very generous to his fans. After we interviewed him for 4.5 hours, we said thanks to him for taking time out of his busy rock and roll/composer lifestyle to talk to us... but he said, "No it's me who has to thank you for being my fans. If I had only one fan I would owe it (the time/interview) to him." Thanks Risa and thanks FRANK!!!
    Here's a link to transcripts of our interview which Frank named "The Interview of the Century"!

    I know little of the complexities of such compositions, but I do know what moves me. I hope that future generations will see these as fine examples of 20th century music. Consider the compositions that never were as a result of his untimely passing.
