A world record is being claimed by pianist Ruslan Ishdavletov from St. Petersburg, who improvised continuously for 60 hours without eating, drinking or sleeping.
Ruslan sat down at the piano at midnight on May 27 and got up at noon on May 29. The previous record, which he set five years ago, was a mere 37 hours.
Beat that, Igor Levit.
