Information about the piece

The first collection of graded French song sheet music, CrocK’MusiC offers a clear progression from level 1 to 9, designed by piano teachers. The works, drawn primarily from the French chanson repertoire, immediately resonate with students: they build on familiar melodies, stimulate listening, facilitate sight-reading and recreate a direct connection with the instrument.

Technique ceases to be an obstacle and becomes a springboard; CrocK’MusiC is not an alternative to the traditional repertoire, it is a parallel path that leads back to it naturally.

The piano transcription by David Neyrolles and Patrice Bourgès Rouhaut of this masterly work by Barbara has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between the dreamlike quality of the melody and pedagogical accessibility, while respecting the spirit of intermediate levels.

Difficulty level: ⑥ (Fairly Easy Pieces)
This level 6 score allows the player to enrich their sound and consolidate hand independence.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: command of the dramatic progression and the rhythmic crescendo through the modulations.
- Technique: work on the fluid arpeggiated accompaniment and the expression of the melody in the right hand.
- Presentation: A clear layout in B major, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
