What the title tells you

The title combines “Polska”, a dance tune type in triple metre, with “efter Pelle Fors”. In tune titles, “efter” can mean “after” and credit a source player, but these listings do not document Pelle Fors’s role or the tune’s regional history. Treat the title as an association rather than proof of authorship.

Comparing the three listed versions

Two versions of Polska Efter Pelle Fors open in G major and one opens in D major; all three open in 3/4. Their note counts and durations differ, but those figures describe individual scores and may not reflect repeats, layout or the complete tune. Inspect the notation itself before deciding which version suits your needs.

Choosing a version for your instrument

The listings do not name an instrument, arranger or composer. Check the clef, range, opening key and whether the score is a single melody line or includes harmony. Those details are more reliable than the title alone when choosing a version for fiddle, flute or another melody instrument.

Practising the triple metre

A polska in 3/4 can look simple on the page, but its dance character comes from phrasing and accents in the setting. Work from the markings in the score and, if you are preparing it for dancing, check tempo and repeats with your group rather than relying on the listed duration.
