I think if I played the same half-sheet of music 840 times consecutively, I'd likely start having evil thoughts and hallucinating, regardless of what the piece is.

I'd have evil thoughts about whoever composed the piece and whoever was requesting I play it.

I seem to recall a story about the keeper of an isolated lighthouse that bought his wife a piano that only came with one piece of sheet music.  Though, in that case it was the keeper that went crazy from his wife's playing.

I'm not sure what the show was, but I think you're talking about Seguin Island Lighthouse in Maine.
