I've studied theory and composition extensively years ago and I'll have to behonest: he was a hack.
I mean, he was not necessarily bad. Let's say that he was the smartest dumb guy that came out of rock music. He's like the tallest midget, the most active sloth, the dyslexic guy who was able to readthe most WPM.
His intricacies and complexities are trivial once you know how to read and put notes on a score.

I've never listened to Beethoven, but those first 30 seconds are the most Beethoven-ish thing I've ever heard. Is this what he usually sounds like, or is this some sort of stand out work?

>>36441104
I disagree. Read the below for an example. His music is filled with easter eggs like this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_Free#Cultural_references
>is not unusual to find melodies or scores from other composers within the music of Frank Zappa. Absolutely Free is full of musical references to other compositions and artists, including Igor Stravinsky.
>For example, "Amnesia Vivace" begins with a collage of quotations from Stravinsky ballets: first, the band plays the "Ritual Action of the Ancestors" from The Rite of Spring, Part II; then harpsichord and chattering voices evoke the pounding Dance of the Adolescents in Part I, over which sax and Zappa's voice start quoting the bassoon melody at the very opening of the Rite and continue into the lyrical Berceuse (also for bassoon) at the end of Stravinsky's The Firebird. The opening sequence of Petrouchka is quoted in the middle section of "Status Back Baby". "Soft-Sell Conclusion" ends with a version of the trombone melody that opens Stravinsky's "Marche Royale" from A Soldier's Tale.
>The "Invocation & Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin", in the beginning of the saxophone solo (first cadence) quotes the trio directly from the fourth movement of Gustav Holst's The Planets, Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity.
Besides that I enjoy his experiments with musique concrete mixed with rock, his ventures into jazz fusion, the extensive editing on albums like Uncle Meat and WOIIFTM, the humour on some of the records, the conceptual continuity he built, and his amazing guitar solos. Also live recordings are very rewarding to listen to, unlike most other bands, because of how heavily they relied on improvisation and how well-drilled and skilled all the band members were.
Even on songs that to the untrained ear sound similar to other rock songs, his extensive knowledge shines through what with time signatures typically not used, irregular rhythmic groupings etc.
Who would you prefer instead?

Beethoven was doing that with popular german songs in his Scherzos 200 years ago.
Handel was doing it with his own music 250.
I don't know how to explain it to you: these are certainly things he did in his music, but these things are trivial to any trained composer. ANY, I'm not using the term liberally. It's just something he did, but it was not original, nor particularly insightful. It is certainly insightful for the rock music landscape, but that's why I said that he is the smartest dumb guy in the genre.
>>
>>36441606
But aren't you comparing apples and pears? Most of his music wasn't classical after all, even if he incorporated elements of it.

A lot of his experimentation had to do with utilizing new technology in interesting ways, so you can't really summarize it as ''beethoven did it first''.

>>
>>36441884
>A lot of his experimentation had to do with utilizing new technology in interesting ways, so you can't really summarize it as ''beethoven did it first''.
A lot of his experimentation was already old in the '60s, and comes directly from other avant-gard movements. He was not an innovator, you can't use this as a point to defend his art. I'm just saying this.
>As for the ''tallest midget'' comment, people who dismiss anything that isn't classical music are all pseuds.
I guess you have not delved into music that is not rock enough. Zappa is worth nothing even when compared to the most shallow Romantic composer. Of course he will appear as a genius in the rock music landscape, but this tells us more about said landscape rather than Zappa's compositional skills.
People who are unable to form strong opinions (usually due to ignorance) are the real pseuds.

False. And even if he didn't invent certain techniques (which he did a few), it's also about how you use those techniques.

Most of the music I listen to isn't rock.

Ignorant people are just as capable of having strong opinions. Pseuds often think that if they state their point emphatically it indicates a deep well knowledge that isn't there.
>>
>>36442111
>False. And even if he didn't invent certain techniques (which he did a few), it's also about how you use those techniques.
That's just stylistic application, which is not in itself an innovation (and if it is virtually everything is a innovation).
>Again, apples and pears.
You can compare the value of different artists by keeping in mind their criteria of excellence nad how much close they got to it. In this sense I can certainly say that Harry Potter 3 is worse than the Divina Commedia without showing any sign of ignorance.
>Ignorant people are just as capable of having strong opinions. Pseuds often think that if they state their point emphatically it indicates a deep well knowledge that isn't there.
Sure thing: Zappa is the greatest composer (lol) in history and his musicians were anything more than mere technicians (lol). Keep believing it.
>>

Both disregarding the wider point and not understanding the meaning of innovation.
>You can compare the value of different artists by keeping in mind their criteria of excellence
Because of the nature of different forms of art specific criteria don't always carry over. And in the cases they do, the aims are often different, e.g. great jazz as compared to great shoegaze or great industrial music. Of course one may think certain forms of music are inherently inferior, but in your case it's just about being a try-hard pseud.

>Both disregarding the wider point and not understanding the meaning of innovation.
You're the one who is being EXTREMELY controversial here: your definition of innovation is 200 years old.

And in the cases they do, the aims are often different, e.g. great jazz as compared to great shoegaze or great industrial music. Of course one may think certain forms of music are inherently inferior, but in your case it's just about being a try-hard pseud.
It's more about having a multitude of platitude: Beethoven took the german song ladder and climbed as high as possible. Zappa took another ladder, and didn't climb that much. I'm being less dogmatic than you might think.
>Of course one may think certain forms of music are inherently inferior, but in your case it's just about being a try-hard pseud.
Do you think that the best menuet is as good as the best symphony? We may have no objective point of reference to make such a statement, but when you think about it said objective point of reference is not present in any sort of discussion, unless you're talking about the value of the application of certain theoric and technical aspects of music (which, as we both know, would be a ridicolous thing to do in this particular debate).
>Nice name-dropping.
It's literally the most famous piece of literature of my country. It doesn't get more basic than this. I'd also say that it wasn't a casual name dropping, since this reference makes perfect sense in the context of this conversation.

Not at all. It's about developing new techniques, utilizing already existing ones in new ways, and creating new configurations of existing elements in a way that pushes the medium further. And though it should be pointed out that innovation doesn't necessarily equate to quality, Zappa has done just this.
As for why I named him as my favourite, it's because he's the first one that springs to mind, and he's the artist I've the most knowledge of and have listened to the most. I wouldn't say he's better or worse than say Mozart, because to me that comparison quickly becomes uninteresting.

>I'm being less dogmatic than you might think

This is exactly what academia has discarded for a century now. I'm not appealing to their authority, but rather showing you that your opinion is less objective (and certainly ress refined) than you might think.
>I wouldn't say he's better or worse than say Mozart, because to me that comparison quickly becomes uninteresting.
This tells more about you rather than the comparison itself. You're basically shitting on 99% of what musicology has produced only because you don't like your great artists to be compared to actual giants.
>Dogmatic isn't the word but obtuse.
Am I ignoring any context here? Haven't I rightly so put Zappa in a certain context and only then evaluated him? Have I used fallacious arguments? You just don't like the idea of musical comparison.
>And I'm not sure if literature is an apt comparison in this case.

>It is, once you're able to actually read and understand music (the most basic skills required for music criticism).
The only thing required to critique music is a sense of hearing.
>>
>>36442991
>Then do so.
I've shown you, by showing you that virtually every relevant academic in the last 100 years deeply disagreed with what you had to say about music criticism. Now, you can think that you're the only person who is in the right here, or just admit that art criticism is nuanced and allows different perspective, and some of them may be a bit stronger and less lenient than others.
The act of blindly accepting music is as violent as the act of blindly criticizing it.
>Different strokes. It's like how I'm not interested in comparing tiramisu to spaghetti alla puttanesca. Which is not to say all is equal, because I'd still rate tiramisu over tv dinner, you feel me?
Sure, but you can say that certain plates of spaghetti alla puttanesca are better than other, and conjure very strong arguments for such a statement, in the same way you can find rotten tiramisus that are pretty much impossible to finish without ending in a hospital. Would it be fair to say that that tiramisu' was worse than those spaghetti?
>The only thing required to critique music is a sense of hearing.
Sure, and the only thing required to critiquing literature is the ability to read. Please, there are different grades of sophistication which just go over the head of everyone who is not ear trained.
By the way, both Zappa and Mozart were deeply trained in this regard, and always considered these elements while composing: studying their scores will show you that most of their craft and sould is simply impossible to understand by people who have no hear for harmony (basically anyone who has not spent hundreds of hours recognizing different chords and intervals).
I disagree with what you percieve as the only prerequisite for music critique, since it's not able to notice and individuate any sort of musical element. By following dogmatically this road you'll just end up with no criticism and lots of accounts of people's feelings after having heard this or that piece of music.

Sure, but replace ''rotten tiramisu'' with tv dinner and you'll see I've already touched upon this point.
>Please, there are different grades of sophistication which just go over the head of everyone who is not ear trained.
Sure, greater knowledge can contribute to a greater appreciation and understanding of any art form. But that's not what you said :^)

Music comparison is one of the most normal things you can find in musicology journals. You're hailing it as a criticism failure, while it is the standard in virtually all of the West.
>Sure, but replace ''rotten tiramisu'' with tv dinner and you'll see I've already touched upon this point.
The examples are not analogous. My example is about pure comparison IN the forms, you're example is about comparison of forms.
>Sure, greater knowledge can contribute to a greater appreciation and understanding of any art form. But that's not what you said :^)
I've said that they're the prerequisite for music criticism, what I've said does not go against this notion, but it certainly goes against the notion you've proposed.
>I'm not interested in that. And I didn't say the criticism would be particularly insightful.
