    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!

    Making a bunch of ancient Zappa fans get all emotional 😂 amazing talent . Frank is smiling down😊

    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.

    Amazing. The transition from RDNZL to Dog Breath was sublime.

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

  • @martymandrell5961
    @martymandrell5961 6 років тому +19

    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!!!!!!!!!!

    Being a huge Zappa fan it's not often I find covers that appeal to me but this was very good.

    What could possibly make this "little old lady" piano teacher and long time Frank Zappa fan happier? On his birthday, i am moved beyond words...enormous kudos to this exceptional little girl, and especially to her teacher!!

    Beautiful rendition, those are difficult pieces physically to attain. You get it. The modern day composer refuses to die.

      I study it too, but from a budding guitar soloists perspective. Someday I’ll be able to interpret his compositions like this, I’m still as green as joe in his garage!

  • @64482
    @64482 3 роки тому +4

    absolutely incredible. this performance brought tears to my eyes. she clearly gets Frank in a way only the true Zappacolytes do: deeply, spiritually, almost painfully. Dweezil needs to see/hear this.

  • @Ethanimor
    @Ethanimor 7 років тому +28

    These is unexpectedly beautiful and superb. Especially "Dog Breath "and "Uncle Meat". Thank you so much for this. This is truly something I appreciate and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. A truly beautifully played composition and piece of art.

    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"!

    O...M...G...!!!! Incredible performance ! And also, it's so risky to arrange FZ's music for just one instrument ! And no easy stuff too, like Dog Breath Variations, RDNZL (one of my all time favourite), or Drowning Witch ! Kudos to you from Switzerland. By the way, I see this video has been posted 4 years ago, how is it possible it hasn't had gathered even a thousand likes since then ?
