Minimalist composer Terry Riley's 'In C' lasts however long the performers want it to. There are 53 'looped' musical figures that the ensemble repeats and repeats however long they feel necessary, slowly progressing through them. Although, a typical performance of this piece lasts about an hour and a half. BUT! It's specified that a performance could last a year if people really felt like it (moving forward to the next musical figure once a week!).
