24 hour piano recital

Pianist Nicolas Horvath plays Erik Satie's Les Vexations, non-stop over 24 hours
The composition consists of 840 executions of a musical fragment of 152 notes. Satie didn't indicate the tempo of the piece, other than "very slow", and so depending on the player's interpretation, the fragment can last from 50 to 100 seconds. Consequently, the recital of all of Les Vexations can take between 12 and 24 hours.
