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 Patrice Bourgès Rouhaut of this monument by Francis Cabrel has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between the delicate arpeggio of the original guitar and a fluid pianistic writing. Released in 1979, this title has become the romantic ballad par excellence.

Difficulty level: ⑥ (Fairly Easy Pieces)
This level 6 score allows the player to work on the regularity of arpeggiated playing and lyrical expression.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: fluidity of semiquavers in the melody.
- Technique: work on hand independence to detach the melody from an arpeggiated accompaniment.
- Presentation: A clear layout in F major, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
