The Well-Tuned Piano is an ongoing improvisatory solo piano work begun in 1964 by La Monte Young. Young has never considered the composition or performance of this piece finished […] He has called it „in a sense, a life’s work“. The composition requires a piano tuned in just intonation […] A typical performance lasts five to six hours.

This 6-hour 25-minute continuous performance was recorded live in concert May 10, 1987 during the La Monte Young 30-Year Retrospective, Dia Art Foundation Performance Space, 155 Mercer Street, New York City.
