How would you dance to Hedwig's Theme?

[Chris M. Dickson]

Not sure if soundtrack discussion is strictly on-topic for a movie 
mailing list, but it seems about a passable match... :-/ (Whisper it, 
but I've just dilligently checked the Admin files and couldn't really 
find definite pronouncement here.)

Idly thinking about a hypothetical Yule Ball, how would you dance to 
Hedwig's Theme? It starts off as a fairly clear Viennese Waltz and it 
ends as a fairly clear Viennese Waltz, but to my not-especially-tutored 
ear it seems to turn into a time-signature-shifting horror in between 
which would make dancing to it a lot more difficult.

www.musicnotes.com is selling the soundtrack sheet music already 
(published by Warner Bros. Publications, Inc. so it's official stuff) 
but I'm guessing that the five pages they're selling as Hedwig's Theme 
for $4.95 probably only cover the first minute and a half or so. Has 
anyone bought this sheet music? Can they confirm how much of the 
soundtrack you get for your money?

Incidentally, you can see the first page online for free at 
musicnotes.com, which is certainly enough for what will come to be known 
in the future as The Famous Bit and confirms that it's in 3/8 time, 58 
bars per minute. In short, uptempo Viennese Waltz territory.

If Warner Bros. have published Hedwig's Theme sheet music and it only 
goes so far, is there any realistically feasible way in which we're 
going to get fuller sheet music of the piece?

Or, cutting to the chase, has anyone got over the time-signature thing 
and worked out how to dance to Hedwig's Theme already?

Warm wishes for the weekend,
Chris
