Choosing sheet music is less about finding one universal "best" piece and more about matching the page to your purpose: a display-worthy vintage song cover, a playable piano score, a classical piece, or a broader song-book collection. These four choices span popular music, musicals, and classical piano, with listed prices from USD 5.99 to USD 19.88 and publication years or title references ranging from 1927 to 1952.
Quick take
- Best low listed price: *Sheet Music Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como* is the least expensive choice and fits shoppers drawn to a 1952 popular-title connection.
- Best 1940s popular-music pick: *That Feeling In The Moonlight, vintage sheet music 1944* stands out for its 1944 year, Paul-Pioneer Music Corp. publisher, and piano instrument attribute.
- Best single classical piano score: *Vintage Boston Music Lullaby Brahms Elizabeth Gest Piano Sheet Music 1927 USA* is the focused choice for Brahms's "Lullaby (Wiegenlied)" arranged for piano solo.
- Best broader piano collection: *Vintage Carl Fischer Let Us Have Music For Piano Vol 2 Sheet Music 1942 USA* is the collection/song book option, with Volume Two described around 69 famous melodies.

Concise product notes
That Feeling In The Moonlight, vintage sheet music 1944
This is the pick for someone who wants a clearly 1940s popular-music sheet with a piano connection. The title names it as vintage sheet music from 1944, and the attributes add Paul-Pioneer Music Corp., United States origin, popular music, and Piano. The description also names "(Did You Ever Get) That Feeling In The Moonlight," with words and music by James Cavanaugh, Larry Stock, and Ira Schuster, plus cover art by Barbelle. The limitation is that it is a single small-format piece rather than a collection, and the described corner bumps, rounding, and light old store stamp matter if you are prioritizing a very clean display copy.
Sheet Music Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como
This one makes sense for shoppers who want the lowest-price entry in the group while still getting a Very Good condition label. The title brings together "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes," 1952, Slim Willet, and Perry Como, while the attributes list United States origin, Sheet Music format, Musicals genre, and Meridian Music as publisher. It is a good fit if the song-title association is the main attraction. Its tradeoff is narrower usefulness for shoppers specifically seeking a piano-identified classical score: unlike the piano-focused entries here, its attributes do not list Piano as the instrument and its genre is Musicals.
Vintage Boston Music Lullaby Brahms Elizabeth Gest Piano Sheet Music 1927 USA
Choose this if your priority is a focused classical piano score. The title and description identify Brahms's "Lullaby (Wiegenlied)," arranged for piano solo by Elizabeth Gest and copyrighted 1927 by The Boston Music Co. The attributes line up well for a player or collector looking for Classical, Piano Score, Sheet Music, and Piano rather than a popular-song single. It also has useful period context in the cover and back-cover catalogue wording. The limitation is that it is marked Good rather than Very Good, and it centers on one Brahms lullaby arrangement rather than offering a wider set of pieces.
Vintage Carl Fischer Let Us Have Music For Piano Vol 2 Sheet Music 1942 USA
This is the broadest piano option among the four because it is a Volume Two collection rather than a single-title sheet. The description names *Let Us Have Music for Piano, Volume Two*, copyright 1942, arranged and edited by Maxwell Eckstein, with 69 famous melodies and lyrics included with most numbers. The attributes also make its role clear: Collection/Song Book, Sheet Music, Classical, and Piano. It is the right direction if you want more than one piece under one cover. The limitation is that it sits at the top of this group's listed price range and carries a Good condition label, so it is not the low-price or highest-condition-label choice.
Final recommendation
For most shoppers deciding among these sheet music options, the cleanest first question is whether you want a single vintage song or a piano-focused classical item. If price is the deciding factor, *Sheet Music Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como* at USD 5.99 is the straightforward low-price pick, especially with its Very Good condition label and 1952 title connection.
If you want a 1940s popular song with a piano attribute, *That Feeling In The Moonlight, vintage sheet music 1944* at USD 8.99 is the stronger match. It brings the 1944 year, popular music genre, Piano instrument, and Paul-Pioneer Music Corp. publisher together in one choice.
For classical piano, choose based on scope. *Vintage Boston Music Lullaby Brahms Elizabeth Gest Piano Sheet Music 1927 USA* at USD 15.88 is better for a single Brahms "Lullaby" piano score. *Vintage Carl Fischer Let Us Have Music For Piano Vol 2 Sheet Music 1942 USA* at USD 19.88 is better if the Collection/Song Book format and Volume Two concept matter more than getting the lowest price. The highest-priced item is also the broadest format here, while the lowest-priced item is the simplest way into the group.
