The longest musical piece ever written is intended to take 640 years to play.
A organist played it at at greatly accelerated rate in 14 hours 56 minutes in 2009. This is the longest recorded individual performance.
A team of 2 organists played the piece at greatly accelerated in 2 12 hour shifts. The 24 hour performance is the longest recorded team performance.
A specially built organ in a church in Germany began to play it at its intended tempo the year 2001. The first note change occurred in 2020. The next note change is scheduled to occur in 2024.
