Comparing the available versions

The listings show two piano scores and one violin score. Both piano versions open in 4/4 with a two-flat key signature; the violin version opens in 4/4 with a one-sharp key signature. One piano score carries an opening tempo of 72 BPM, the violin score 80 BPM, and the other piano score has no opening tempo shown. Check the score itself before relying on these labels.

Key and transposition

Because the piano and violin listings begin in different key signatures, they are not simply interchangeable at sight. A two-flat opening may suit one player’s range or reading preference better than a one-sharp opening, but the records do not identify which key is original or authoritative. Choose by the key signature shown on the score and confirm the actual key in the music.

The Hank Jones title

One piano score is titled “Autumn Leaves Piano Solo - Hank Jones (Somethin' else)”. The title links the listing to Hank Jones and Somethin’ Else, but the available records do not say whether the score is a transcription, a simplified arrangement, or an edition authorized by the performer or publisher. Treat the title as a lead for further checking, not proof of the edition’s status.

Attribution on the listings

Joseph Kosma is named as the artist on each of the three supplied records, while the composer field is blank. If an authoritative credit matters for your performance or programme notes, verify it independently before relying on the listing.

Common questions

What instrumentation is available for Autumn Leaves sheet music?

The Autumn Leaves listings include two scores with a piano part and one score with a violin part. Each is a single-part score in 4/4, so players can compare a piano version with a violin version rather than a full ensemble arrangement.

What key does Autumn Leaves begin in in these scores?

The available Autumn Leaves scores do not share one opening key. The two piano scores begin with a two-flat key signature, while the violin score begins with a one-sharp key signature; the records do not identify an original or authoritative key.

What tempo is marked for Autumn Leaves?

Tempo indications differ among the available Autumn Leaves scores. One piano version opens at 72 BPM, the violin version at 80 BPM, and the other piano score has no opening tempo listed. These tempo values describe the individual scores and may not reflect a preferred performance tempo.

Is one of the scores a Hank Jones arrangement?

One piano score is titled “Autumn Leaves Piano Solo - Hank Jones (Somethin' else)”, which names Hank Jones and Somethin’ Else. The supplied records do not confirm whether this is a transcription of a performance, an arrangement, or an authorized edition, so the title alone should not be treated as proof.

Who is credited with Autumn Leaves in these listings?

The three listed Autumn Leaves scores name Joseph Kosma as the artist, but the composer field is blank. That does not establish Kosma as the composer of the song, and lyric credits are not shown; verify the credit against an authoritative edition before using it in programme notes.
