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 classic by Claude Nougaro (based on a theme by Jacques Datin) has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between musical fidelity and pedagogical accessibility.

Difficulty level: ⑤ (Fairly Easy Pieces)
This score is ideal for students looking to reach a new technical milestone.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: a moderate tempo to work on the regularity of the swing between jazz and waltz (triple meter).
- Technique: a very steady bass line supporting a much freer right hand.
- Presentation: A clear layout in C major, carefully engraved with complete fingering.
