Solo piano, violin and piano, or four hands

The three selected scores serve different practical setups. One lists Violin and Piano parts, one lists Piano alone, and one is titled as a four-hands version. The four-hands listing names Piano and Klavier in its part field rather than identifying primo and secondo, so confirm how the pages are divided before using it.

Opening key, time, and tempo indications

Two of the selected scores show an opening key signature of one sharp, while the four-hands version shows no sharps or flats. All three list 4/4 time. Their listed opening tempos are 72 BPM for the violin-and-piano score, 60 BPM for the solo-piano score, and 80 BPM for the four-hands version. Treat these as opening score indications rather than a definitive key or performing tempo.

Credits and details to check on the score

Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff wrote the song. Arrangers and transcribers adapt it for particular instruments; their names are separate credits, not additional songwriters. Some uploaded scores omit or combine credits, so consult the score for arrangement-specific attribution. A title credit such as “Cover by Rousseau” does not by itself establish who prepared the notation.
