I wanted to post that, but I figured it didn't count as it hasn't ended yet.
Or did 2999 pass by without me noticing...

There have been festivals of Balinese gamelan music where the music is played continuously by one "orchestra" for nearly 20 hours, individual musicians merely switching out with fresh ones to avoid collapsing.

To the best of my knowledge, the longest single composition ever played in its entirety is probably the piano piece called "Vexations" by Erik Satie. It was composed in 1892-1893. After vexing music students for years, it was finally performed in its entirety in 1963 by a group of musicians led by John Cage, who is well-known for his own "experimental" music. I'm not sure how long Cage's performance lasted, but depending on how Satie's notes are interpreted, the piece was intended to last either 14 hours or 28 hours. I have tried to obtain a recording to help me with my insomnia, but I haven't had any luck. http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/works/vexations/ http://www.users.waitrose.com/~chobbs/Bryars.html | | |

I keep telling myself I should have walked out of the theater, but I sat there, hoping it would be over soon.
