“Chaconne alla Zappa” (2014) version for two pianos

Listen HERE

A piece recently released by the Ombnibus Classics label [NAXOS Direct] was commissioned and recorded by the Minkin-Shemer harpsichord duo (Marina Minkin – David Shemer).
The piece emerges and exists on the narrow boundary between the classical Renaissance form known as “chaconne” with its characteristically repeating patterns and the sharp, rough sound of 20th century rock-music. The work is a tribute to a one of the great musicians of the late 20th century, Frank Zappa; a modest homage to a great “musical law breaker”, whose contribution to the development of music is yet to be appreciated and understood.
