It makes a truly beautiful piano piece.
Anyway, all of the negatives you offer concerning Zappa's body of work are subjective - possibly excluding atonal, and then certainly only on select pieces. My thinking on the subject has always been that if you consider it music, it's music. It may be music for which I don't care, but it's still music. It may fall outside of normal parameters for somebody's definition of what constitutes 'good' music, but it's still music. And anybody who says otherwise is a poopyhead.
