 | Frank Zappa's Last Interview (TRANSCRIBED IN INFO BOX) Frank Zappa's last television interview. He is talking about his friend Nicolas Slonimsky, 1993. Sorry about the poor quality. Some of you have commented that you find it difficult to hear what is being said. Here's what Frank says: "He's just a brilliant mind. And a very warm-hearted spirit. And these are qualities not often found linked together in human beings. And... I just liked him. One of the things I really liked about him was his wardrobe. I always was impressed with his wardrobe from the first time he came over, because he had that look. He had the look of a real guy from that era, you know what I mean? The right kind of shoes, the right kind of tweed, rumple, worn for a thousand years. Kinda... sport coat, pants too short. He was wonderful. He was a fully developed character." Nicolas Slonimsky (1894-1995) was a musicologist, conductor, composer, author and much more. Check out his lectures on archive.org or simply do a google search. Zappa was right when he said that Slonimsky was a wonderful person. |
 | Density 21.5 (1936) by Edgard Varese Density 21.5 (1936) was written at the request of Georges Barrère for the premiere of his platinum flute, the density of platinum being close to 21.5 grams per cubic centimeter. The piece is based on two melodic ideas, one modal and one atonal. It is interesting to note that in Varese's output of only fifteen works, Density 21.5 is his only solo piece. Like Scriabin, Varese was among the revolutionary composers whose works initiated the beginning of a new mainstream tradition in twentieth-century music -- use of the diminished seventh chords and tritones, interval cycles, and partitioning of chords. Program Note by Justin R. Stolarik ----------------------------------- Part of Dr. Stolarik's University of Texas at Austin DMA 2 Solo Percussion Recital, entitled "An Unconventional 20th Century Retrospective." Thursday, November 15th, 2007 at 4:30pm in Bates Recital Hall. My unconventional retrospective concept delivers a wide variety of musical styles of the twentieth-century -- one work from almost every decade. The pieces not originally composed for percussion have been included as a means to demonstrate the contributions by important composers of the century and to expose the listener to the versatility of percussion instruments. |

 | A tragically ill Frank Zappa talks about Captain Beefheart With all due respect to the great musician, it seems in this interview in which he talks about his and Beefheart's childhood, he's put on a couple of pounds from what appears to be side effects from prostate cancer treatment as well as appearing weaker which really breaks my heart. Does anybody know the exact date of this interview? I would presume it was sometime in '93/'92. (The interview itself is an excerpt of a Captain Beefheart Documentary which was broadcast in 1994 featuring Zappa post humorously. |
