Longplayer is a very long piece of music by British composer and musician Jem Finer which is composed to play for 1000 years without looping. It started to play at midnight on 1 January 2000, and if all goes as planned, it will continue without repetition until 31 December 2999.
I got to this after looking up John Cage's "As Slow as Possible".

Which is, apparently, only the second longest piece of music.
The title "As Slow as Possible" reminds me of the tempo directions on the first movement of Schumann's Second Piano Sonata. At the start is "So rasch wie moeglich" (as fast as possible). Later on are the directions "Schneller" (faster) and "Noch schneller" (still faster).
