Rachmaninoff
One thing I love about listening to Rachmaninoff is that I always know when the piece is over.

Trillihedron
The earth is not round
But faceted:
Fixed together by trillions
Of hedrons—a trillihedron—
So that nowhere that you stand is
Infinite but flat-set, junctioned
On each side by
Other faceted hedrons—
Like people, as a singular
Don’t exist except
As trillihedrons.

Being a musical illiterate, I have a hard time understanding how one would not know that a piece is over. Perhaps you could offer an example?
Oh, sorry. Rachmaninoff does a signature four-note rhythm at the end of his symphonies and concertos, which closely matches the pronunciation of his last name (ONE-(ee)-and-a-TWO) (RACH-man-i-NOFF).
Fun fact: did you know that Rachmaninoff became a US citizen before he died? True fact! He's buried in New York!
