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 Aline Sans of this iconic song by Jean-Jacques Goldman has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between the soberness of the message and a high-level pianistic writing, demanding musical maturity. A true hymn to elective kinship, "Famille" is built on a progressive surge in power, moving from the intimate to the universal.

Difficulty level: ⑨ (Difficult Pieces)
This level 9 score represents the culmination of the CrocK’MusiC journey, ideal for confirmed students seeking to combine power with finesse of interpretation.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: command of the syncopations characteristic of Goldman’s writing and management of the dynamics throughout the piece.
- Technique: work on extensions and the independence of a melody that must remain clear above a dense harmonic structure.
- Presentation: A clear layout in C major (with modulations), carefully engraved with complete fingering.
