Vexations - Erik Satie (1893)

Midi from tamalakysss: musescore.com/...
This was recorded at 11 a.m. (in Philippines' time), finished at around 8 p.m. and it took over 7 hours to completely export the whole thing on Clipchamp... I never had the chance to put the ray effects in it, due to my mobile editor saying it's an "unsupported file format". After the exporting process, the size was about 7.74 GB of size and was really surprised that it was that small of a size for a computer. To be honest, I never intended to upload this kind of piece, but since I don't have any pieces left to upload, I picked this one up for an upload.
Vexations is a musical work by Erik Satie. Apparently conceived for keyboard (although the single page of manuscript does not specify an instrument), it consists of a short theme in the bass whose four presentations are heard alternatingly unaccompanied and played with chords above. The theme and its accompanying chords are written using enharmonic notation. The piece is undated, but scholars usually assign a date around 1893-1894 on the basis of musical and biographical evidence.
The piece bears the inscription "In order to play the motif 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, and in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities." ("Pour se jouer 840 fois de suite ce motif, il sera bon de se préparer au préalable, et dans le plus grand silence, par des immobilités sérieuses.") From the 1960s onward, this text has mostly been interpreted as an instruction that the page of music should be played 840 times, although this may not have been Satie's intention.

Is that the 840? I thought it was like 25 hours long or something

[@norixsynth]

Nope, unfortunately.
840 loops can reach around 11-12 hours of duration.
