John Cage "Orgona a negyzeten, olyan lassan, ahogy csak lehet" (Organ squared/As slow as possible.), cimu orgonamuvet, melynek az eloadasa 639 evig tart majd, 2001 szeptember 5-en megkezdtek Halberstadt nemet varosban.
 
The three notes being played - G sharp, B, and G sharp - are the debut for an organ built for Cage's music, with keys being held down by weights and with organ pipes to be added over the years for new notes.
An unused church in Halberstadt, a town with a proud organ-building tradition dating to the Middle Ages, serves as the performance space and the inspiration for extending the piece over centuries.
