Anonymus II (26:21) the longest Focus piece on record appears on the 1972 double album Focus 3 and is a development of the original and shorter Anonymus on their first. An instumental, on the original vinyl album the track took up the whole of the third side of the double album and part of the fourth side. The split came during Pierre van der Linden's dum solo. Unlike other tracks featured on this website this track is not really a composite piece but a composite jazz style jam featuring solos from bass and drums. It includes an ancient anonymous 15th century French piece called Le dit Bourgignon and is in three main parts with a sort of coda.
As with so much else, the Beatles were the pioneers. They worked out that by stringing together a series of shorter songs a pleasing longer piece can be assembled. Where they led many others followed.
