376 is the harp interlude from Britten's Ceremony of Carols.
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

377 contains many parallel fifths!  :o
But I don't know it...

It's a very tricky one, I grant you! I might give some clues soon, but I quite want to put some more up first...

The text is obviously from one of your favorite postmodern writers.

NOT Nabokov, but other than that I have no idea who...

Good, good. This is actually from a novel, and the writer was in earlier years a musician - the music is, as Rappy points out, rather coarse, but that is deliberate. (There are a couple of other musical excerpts like this in the book). Think ovine....

Edward Albee wrote a play called "Goat." It was about a man in love with a goat. Really.

I had NO IDEA John Barth had anything to do with music! (Or perhaps I knew once, but had completely forgotten... 0:))

John Barth - Giles Goat-Boy

Indeed! Read it? It's quite an experience!

Oh yes, Sfz was correct with the Britten too, obviously....

I've read a bit of Barth (and about Barth - hence my surprise), but not that.

Oh, and Guido - you have got to read Lost in the Funhouse! A real short story cycle - in the sense that the it's not a gathering of random texts, but a sort of "novel in the form of short story collection".

Sentimental reasons, probably, but I'm partial more to The Sot-Weed Factor.

Certainly a composer with dyslexia.
