Zappa's musical output in the last year and double concert at Boston's Orpheum theater last weekend suggest that the brilliant composer may decide eventually to sacrifice his art for greater public acclaim and a higher income.

And the story, with its pivotal heroine, its deferentially anonymous references to European nobility, its global crisis in the offing...
