The F-major version opens with one flat and is listed with 241 notes and about 37.5 seconds.

Opening key versus whole-piece key

What the listings do not specify

The three Rambling Pitchfork listings name no composer, instrument or arranger. They also give no difficulty grade or historical note. Players should inspect the score itself for instrumentation, range, ornamentation and any arrangement details before choosing a version.

Using the listed durations

The durations shown for The Rambling Pitchfork are about 24.3, 30.0 and 37.5 seconds. The listings do not state what these timings represent, so they are best treated as comparative details rather than a definitive performance length.
