Frank Zappa - The Black Page Part Two (playalong video)

from the album "Zappa in New York"

Having learned this by ear and from repeated listening I can't say how beautiful it is to see this on virtual paper. Brings a totally different perspective, duh.

I love how Franks sense of normalcy is so warped that he thinks this is a disco piece that the audience can dance to, haha.

Great upload! So good to read while listening

I just started sight reading and this blows my fucking mind open

Nice stuff man! One quick thing I noticed is measures 14 & 15 (58 & 59 as well) should be quarter note triplets, then a quintuplet, then two sets of septuplets for the second of the two measures. You can tell because the downbeat lands on that B flat.

His improvisations are distinctly his, meaning that he repeats himself a great deal. Compare this to Uncle Meat theme and others for example.

I always liked part 2 better. The true beauty of the melody comes out more the highly technical rhythms don’t dominate the piece as much EASY teenaged NY version for me!

Hey! Can we get the score as pdf somewhere?

[gordoful]

Great! Thanks for sharing! Is this the ZINY version? Ore something else? I'm much more used to the one in Läther, but this one is really good too.

Bar 49 is wrong. First five notes should be two eighth notes and a quaver triplet.
