With the exception of occasional pieces for solo instrument and piano; and published arrangements for two pianos, four hands, the sheet music is mainly for solo piano, with some manuscript second piano parts written out by Harry Culley. The sheet music includes annotations and alterations for performance, and most include precise timings. The Culley's performed regularly on radio shows from the 1930s to 1950s and would have to fill a set amount of time. These timings would have helped them select their repertoire for each show.
