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 quintessential song by Étienne Daho highlights the melodic elegance and pared-down world characteristic of the artist, in a version balanced between fidelity to the original and pianistic accessibility.

Difficulty level: ⑦ (Difficult Pieces)
This score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a highly technically demanding repertoire.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: precision in the regularity of the accompaniment and management of subtle rhythmic offsets between the hands.
- Technique: command of touch, control of dynamics and use of the sustain pedal to support the sonic atmosphere.
- Presentation: A clear layout in B♭ major, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
