"Exact" timing?
It is described as "exactly" 13 minutes 14 seconds long. This is an oddly specific claim - and is also just a worthless factoid, unless we explain the reason and give a specific reference proving that every performance (past and future) must necessarily be exactly this length.

 * The first performance is described as such. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:59, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The precise duration in seconds of one single performance (even the first one) is irrelevant, unless the composer explicitly requires all performances to be exactly that length - or, for example, if there's a technical reason such as a pre-made recording that every performance must fit with.

 * I don't follow, sorry. Why - when the first is given - do you think it implies that others have to be the same duration? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
