For better or worse, I'll be surprised if most of Zappa's stuff for orchestra stays in the repertoire for long for technical reasons as much as anything else - it's too hard for the number of rehearsals most orchestras can afford. Some of the chamber music will last.

I won't be shocked if a lot of Zappa's concert music lasts (even some of the lesser stuff), just because of how many of the players and conductors grew up with that being some of their earliest exposure to modern music and such a pillar of the tradition for them. sh
