Tetris / Korobeiniki - Fast Ragtime Piano Cover by Dave Wave
This catalog item is a fast ragtime piano arrangement credited to Dave Wave. Its musical material has several layers: the nineteenth-century Russian song Korobeiniki, the Game Boy Tetris arrangement commonly called Type A, and the later piano cover represented by this score. Korobeiniki uses words associated with Nikolay Nekrasov's 1861 poem and became known outside Russia through its connection with Tetris. Hirokazu Tanaka arranged the tune for the 1989 Game Boy version, so the familiar game association should not be confused with the folk song's authorship or with Dave Wave's arrangement credit. The selected MuseScore source is titled Tetris Ragtime and points toward a transcription of Dave Wave's performance or sheet music. It is safest to call the item a community piano arrangement and to reserve any note-for-note or official-engraving claim until that provenance is confirmed.
