Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of longest non-repetitive piano pieces
or '''Merge (into a new article)''': I'm the main editor of this article (thought not its creator) and will try to respond to the various points raised here. There is some (perhaps inevitable) tendency for the list to be Sorabji-centric, and many of the discussions of long piano pieces that I know discuss those in the context of Sorabji (e.g. Mashak's piece, which, to the best of my knowledge, has not received much discussion in other sources). There are various articles on long musical compositions scattered across the internet (e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/music/tomserviceblog/2014/dec/31/top-ten-time-stretching-musical-masterpieces) and some coverage of individual works (e.g. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/11680797/Max-Richter-composes-longest-ever-piece-of-classical-music.html). Wikipedia also has an article on Cage's ''As Slow as Possible'', which routinely features in such articles/lists. As for Sorabji and unrecorded pieces of his, he is well known for having written a large number of vast compositions and those appear in various sources (e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/05/20/arts/a-major-work-by-a-musical-maverick-is-finally-recorded.html, https://scroll.in/magazine/818006/remembering-the-parsi-composer-who-wrote-some-of-the-longest-ever-pieces-for-the-piano or https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/sep/12/classicalmusicandopera1). Perhaps it might be better to create a list of "longest compositions" or "musical pieces", which could include minimalist piano pieces that have received coverage in notable sources (e.g. La Monte Young's ''The Well-Tuned Piano''), Cage's piece (which was originally written for the piano, though those performances tend to be of moderate length), Satie's ''Vexations'' (enough coverage by any means), the operatic cycles of Wagner and Stockhausen, etc. And, while  does not help things, List of longest novels may provide some ideas on how to handle this
