Marino Formenti, an excellent, questing pianist, moves into the Goethe-Institut Library for two weeks (I mean, he's actually going to live there) and plays piano every day for 12 hours a day. Composers shall include, among many many others, Formenti himself, Bach, Cage, Feldman, Froberger, Louis Couperin,Brian Eno, Frescobaldi, Farid El Atrache, and Nirvana (it's like Formenti made that list up just for me!). Unlike Formenti, you can walk in and walk out as you please.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Nights and evenings, it's a pity Formenti can't go to Dear Irving Gramercy for an excellent cocktail or three — but you can! (Servicable food.) For lunch or afternoon snack, Bar Jamón will do very nicely.
