1975. All the symphonies at once. At this point in history, since it would be possible, I should specify that it is not literally every symphony played at once. It's simply a work that tries to wrap itself around all previous classical music, taking advantage of its existence in the present. It conceptually achieves this through a compositional technique that almost feels like meta-melody, in that it isn't quite melodic, but everything still somehow flows as one unit. It's pretty consistently overwhelming, and as a result of what's sort of a transcendental abstinence from other forms of composition, the work can't quite be characterized as beautiful or chaotic, which are otherwise seemingly the poles on either side of classical's spectrum. This is like totalism without the minimalism.
