      @@declanhayden we have played the black page in Percussion ensemble and I have used it as an audition piece. I may steel your idea with the dialogue which was right from Zappa’s dialogue. Perhaps with a Zappa like voice. You got me thinking and your playing was smooth as butter. Thanks.

    NICE!! As I remember FZ, he was a professional first and very critical of accuracy in his works. I'm glad Mr. Haas gave that respects back to the public in 2020. Remembering that FZ got to work with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1983 and 87 and that is true musicianship.

      FZ only worked with LSO in 1983. The second volume of recordings from that same session came out in 1987.

    "That was fine. Now, take it from the top, this time without mistakes; you know who you are." Come on now, just close your eyes and imagine......that's exactly what he would have said. Then, everyone would have a laugh and happily carried on......... There hasn't been a musical good time like that since he left us. Proving that humor did belong there, and that his manuscripts are never complete without it. That was his secret; to be so meticulously serious, but never took himself or his compositions too seriously....... I guess you just had to be there.

    I played kit on this as an undergrad. As an ensemble we tackled this 2 to 4 measures a week. 25 years later, I still think it might be the most influential piece on my career. Not that I’m playing insanely dense polyrhythms every day. But it was the experience of learning such a work. Great job!

    A thumbs up for the effort (and the dedication it takes). I had the chance to hear a performance of this magistral piece, live, in 88 (with the full schembang ,the entire band of that era). It left an indelible mark on mi mind. Probably the best concert I've ever been to!
