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 melancholic song by Zazie (composed by Phil Baron) has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between musical fidelity and pedagogical accessibility, while meeting the demands of advanced levels.

Difficulty level: ⑦ (Difficult Pieces)
This score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a highly technically demanding repertoire.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: regularity of the left-hand bass line in octaves and arpeggios.
- Technique: difficulty in the interpretation of the harmonised melody, use of the sustain pedal.
- Presentation: A clear layout in E minor, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
