The Devil's Dream sheet music

What the scores show

Three scores are listed under 'The Devil's Dream.' All three open in A major, with three sharps in the opening key signature. One is titled 'Devil's Dream -- Reel'; the other titles are 'The Devil's Dream' and 'The DEVIL'S DREAM.' The listings give no composer credit and do not name an instrument or arrangement.

Comparing 2/4 and 4/4 versions

The entries include one score in 2/4 and two in 4/4. Meter affects how the music is notated and grouped, so examine the opening bars rather than assuming the versions are interchangeable. The listings do not say which meter is original or which version is authoritative.

Attribution and genre

No composer is credited in these listings; the artist field reads 'Misc tunes.' A reel designation appears in one score title, but the listings do not establish the tune's origin, date, or whether every version belongs to the same genre. Historical claims need an independent source.

Before you play

Check the score for clef, range, and any arrangement notes, because the listings do not provide instrumentation. The opening key is consistent across the three entries, but later key changes, repeats, and structure should be read from the score itself.
