Chords for Third-to-second: Ruth shares a secret of the 'Zappa' sound

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There's a piece that was inserted into the apostrophe album as part of St.
Alfonso's
Pancake Breakfast.
It's called Rallo Interior and this was the lead sheet that I was given. _
And if you can see _ that every single chord that's in here is marked B flat 2, C 2, F sharp 2, D flat
2.
Everything is a two chord.
And what that means to Frank _ is _ he would take a triad. _ _
This is a triad.
A three-part chord consisting of one, [G] three, and five.
The first, third, and fifth degree of the
scale.
One, two, three, four, five, six, [C] seven, eight. _ _
There's your tonic triad.
He would lose
the third [D] and move it down to the second.
And there is the definitive Zappa sound.
As in,
for [E] instance, _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ all two [A] chords. _
Rallo does not have one triad in it.
It's all two chords.

_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [D#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [F#] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, three [E] mistakes.
One for each decade that I've been away from the music and the instrument.
