I'VE GOT IT! I'VE GOT IT! CALLED! The Haydn 110 minute Symphony! Because is was WAY too long for the Era, the Esterhazy family had fallen asleep and had to be woken up by their servants. They then politely applauded.

It's hard to identify with so little description, It could be Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, Or Shostakovitch 5th Symphony. Or two dozen other pieces.
Gadfly is correct in a sense. The work to which he refers is Haydn's famous "unsubtitled" symphony.
