E-MAIL; ORDER A COPY; LIST OF CHANGES SINCE FIRST RELEASE

I'm interested in mail of an analytical kind about possible errors in this site and other topics about Zappa's music. It's possible to extend this site, where additional chapters can be written by others. I shall give credit to anyone who makes a contribution in the text itself and the changes and corrections list below. You can contact me at:

Note: I'm aware of that the e-mail addresses linked to my zappa-analysis sitename are abused for sending spam. For complaints, check the IP addresses, I have nothing to do with it.

For documentation purposes I'm having some copies of this site printed and send to libraries (cover printed, pages Xerox copied, sample). You can contact me for buying your own copy.

Changes and corrections included upon the first release of May 2000, ISBN 90-9013158-2:
- Mo 'n Herbs vacation: starting time for the melody in part I added (2:18).
- Meter division of the Florentine Pogen transcription changed (advised by Justin Birchell).
- Transcription of Don't you ever wash that thing, 0:00 till 0:14: triplets replaced by 2/32 and 1/16 and bar 3, writing down error for the beats: three eighth notes replaced by three sixteenth notes.
- Between multi-scale melodies and atonality: sentence "The combinations in major are C,..." reformulated to "The combinations (in major keys) are notes of C,..."
- Billy the mountain: key of the opening changed from B flat Dorian to D flat Lydian (the bass pedal note is D flat instead of B flat).
- Phrase from Wild love: Ludwig transcription replaced by one of my own.
- I ain't got no heart: The harmony of the second theme is different (I and IV should be IV and V).

Changes and corrections included upon the second release of September 2001, ISBN 90-806552-1-X:
- Times Beach II and III examples renewed and remark "by approximation" added.
- Fine girl and Brown shoes riff renewed.
- Yo' mama: some details changed.
- Run home cues #3: doubts about the correctness of the 5/4 meters added.
- Dancin' fool: 6/4 bar renotated as 3x2/4.
- Edchina's Arf transcription: corrections upon the choice of metres mailed to me by Tom Trapp.
- Filthy habits: writing error in bar 17, 16th pause corrected to 32th pause.
- Augmentations of the site are added as an appendix in the 2003 reprint of the 2nd edition.
- Put a motor in yourself: sketches made more accurate.
- Two of the five Ruben and the Jets fragments, Anything and Deseri, aren't by Zappa himself, but by collaborators Paul Buff and Ray Collins. My apology to them. I would have taken other examples if I had realized this before; their names are now mentioned.
- You didn't try to call me: notation changed.
- Conclusion: sonata form specified as sonata form with various movements.
