The performance actually lasted something like 19 hours. Oh, and the Ring is about 15 hours long and is usually spread out in 4 performances of 4 hours each, not played all at once
My "seminar on John Cage and Experimental Music" played Vexations for our final concert. We began at 6 in the morning, and ended at 8 at night.
