FRANK ZAPPA Revised Music For Low Budget Symphony Orchestra (Unique 1972 US score for the entire piece as HAND WRITTEN by FZ, complete with Frank's own annotations - time signature changes, effect settings etc. Running across EIGHTEEN sheets of stave, as it does, it still seems incredible that Frank actually hand wrote each of the parts for the twenty piece band arrangements & even more incredible that it still survives in pristine condition thirty seven years later. Thescore itself is unusual in that it has the entire orchestral arrangement at concert pitch, implying that this was the Conductor's score, in other words Frank's OWN score. This manuscript comes from the personal collection of Marty Perellis, who was the road manager for the tour & has also been authenticated by David Ocker who, later, became Zappa's music copyist [1977-1984]. Another one-off piece of history that, for my money, knocks an autograph into a cocked hat - An FZ original score TRANSCRIBED PERSONALLY by FZ for the legendary Grand Wazoo Orchestra - It doesn't get much better than this!)
