No it isn't. It is possibly in 12/8 or 6/8. 3/4 is not a serious possibility.

If you can't see the sheet music, is there really any difference? Obviously

There is a difference. 3/4 is more stable as there are 3 strong beats per

The sheet music I have is 3/4. I just listened to it and I can hear 12/8, but

My PhD in piano pedagogy Mother says it’s 3/4. I texted her. This is the way

I would much rather read this in 6/8, 12/8 or 4/4 than 3/4. The "beat" is

Here's an experiment: Try writing the first line in 6/8 or 12/8 compared to 3/4.

There are just too many half beats in there for me to think it should be

All three will result in the same performance by a robot, but to humans

12/4 and 3/4 are the same in my book, but I've never seen a piece written in

I haven't either but if you have an allergy to 16th notes...

3/4 makes the most sense to me. 180 bpm

In practice, yes, but 6/8 is for much quicker songs that don't require many half
RGGeemer
Jun 27, 12:27pm
No, 3/4 has three distinct beats per measure, 6/8 is more 2 beats of triplets
haYnCoug
Jun 27, 1:05pm
I would suggest it’s 4/4, but utilizing a lot of triplets.

But alas, all the sheet music I’m seeing has it as 3/4.

Just did a quick Google image search and saw 4/4 and 6/8 as well. It doesn't
Hypnotoad

The piano intro is 4/4 on all of them.

I never realized it but it does feel kinda waltzy.

3/4 - too many half beats to make it 6/8, IMO
RGGeemer
Jun 27, 12:26pm
Definitely 6/8 phrasing, but it makes more sense to write it as a 3/4 waltz
AFewThoughts
Jun 27, 12:36pm
But it’s a polka
TwinsRight
Jun 27, 12:44pm
Right... I should have left the "waltz" part off! Not a lilting waltz
