PetyaLB ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Very well arranged and put together - the only real criticisms I have to offer is that the accompaniment differs a little from whats in the actual song - namely it follows the vocal line (see bar four onwards) instead of continuing to play the arpeggios found in the lead-in, which is what is done in the song. Fortunately this isnt difficult to correct for, and you can leave it as-is for an acceptable instrumental arrangement of the song. I did knock off a star from the accuracy rating for it though. Also playable on accordion. Bassline can be played almost verbatim if you so choose using the Stradella bass system (I prefer to play a simplified bass using the chord markings as a reference, but thats just me). Use either violin or imitation musette registers on the treble side. Bass can be left on master, but sounds good in any register.

This sheet music sounds very full, sounds just like the song and is arranged in an intuitive way that is easy to pick up.
