Frank has always been treated as a modern classical musician throughout Europe, and is widely arranged and played, either by soloists or ensembles. I saw a wonderful ensemble play a staggering number of truly delightful pieces in Melbourne, Australia several years ago, to much deserved acclaim.
Ive always loved this tune for the grand orchestration but my god when you strip it down to skin and bones it's just as amazing. Really special job there! Thanks
OMG ! One of my all time favorite Zappa tunes and it's like hearing it again for the first time. Kudos Marco Dalpane ! Ya know....it's discovering shit like this that makes me feel good to be alive. :-D
How does this only have 809 views? This is one of the best musical piece I have ever seen on youtube. From the arrangement to the phenomenal playing - this is absolutely awe-inspiring. Please do more!!!
Excellent arrangement and performance Marco! I especially like your treatments of tempo in various sections. It really adds to the majestic feel. Thanks for sharing.

When someone interpreting a song on piano, it's wow. When someone interpreting a Zappa piece on piano, it's nice trying. 😊 (No offense, but this is the truth, and you're a great pianist of course 🙂)

Bravo! A difficult piece for an orchestra brilliantly played on the piano!
Absolutely gorgeous, Helen! Fantastic touch and dynamics. I knew Frank and I’m sure he’d be knocked out by your approach to this piece. ❤
