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 Armelle Cocheril and Patrice Bourgès Rouhaut of this first hit by Francis Cabrel has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between the sensitivity of the original guitar and an accessible pianistic writing, 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 synchronisation between the melody and the arpeggiated accompaniment.
- Technique: work on the legato of the right hand and the regularity of the broken chords in the left hand.
- Presentation: A clear layout in A minor, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
