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 Jean Rieux of this melancholic work by Mylène Farmer has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between the ethereal atmosphere of the original and a demanding pianistic writing, while meeting the demands of advanced levels.

Difficulty level: ⑧ (Difficult Pieces)
This level 8 score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a highly technically demanding repertoire.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: command of the regularity and fluidity of the arpeggios to support the melody.
- Technique: execution of various technical challenges in both hands, including work on a pearly touch, piano dynamics and the playing of a harmonised theme.
- Presentation: A clear layout in E minor, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
