In music, the American composer Samuel Barber composed a piece for orchestra in 1971 entitled "Fadograph of a Yestern Scene", a quote from the first part of the novel. The Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu used several quotes from the novel in his music: its first word for his composition for piano and orchestra, "riverrun" (1984). His 1980 piano concerto is called "Far calls. Coming, far!" taken from the last page of "Finnegans Wake". Similarly, he entitled his 1981 string quartet "A Way a Lone", taken from the last sentence of the work.
