Comparing the selected versions

Three scores are highlighted for this title. Their opening signatures are no sharps or flats, G major with one sharp, and one sharp; the listed time signatures are 3/4, 4/4 and 8/4. These details describe the start of each score and do not guarantee that the whole piece stays in one key or metre.

Choosing by key and metre

If you are matching another part or a singer, check the opening key first: the selected scores include a version with no sharps or flats and versions with one sharp. The 3/4 and 4/4 openings present different metres, while the 8/4 score is an outlier worth inspecting before rehearsal.

Ensemble scoring

One selected score names parts for flute, violin and accordion. The other selected scores do not list named parts, so do not assume they are for the same combination or for a particular solo instrument.

What to check before playing

Check the clef, key, time signature and any part names on the score you choose. A title match alone does not confirm that a version contains the same verses, accompaniment or level of detail as another.
