Céline

The first collection of French song sheet music graded by level of difficulty, CrocK’MusiC offers a clear path from level 1 to 9, designed by piano teachers. The works, drawn mainly from the French chanson repertoire, speak immediately to the student: they build on familiar melodies, stimulate listening, make reading easier and recreate a direct link with the instrument.

Technique stops being an obstacle and becomes a lever; CrocK’MusiC is not an alternative to the traditional repertoire, it is a parallel path that leads naturally back to it.

Armelle Cocheril’s piano transcription of this timeless Hugues Aufray hit is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between the fervour of the original folk ballad and fluid piano writing, ideal for approaching the end of the first cycle. An adaptation of a Mort Shuman song, this chanson has become a classic of the French heritage through its melancholy and tenderness.

Difficulty level: ⑥ (Intermediate pieces)
This level 6 score helps consolidate the autonomy of the hands and melodic interpretation.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: mastering steady, arpeggiated playing in the left hand.
- Technique: work on legato, the balance of sound between the left-hand arpeggios and the melody, and precise use of the pedal to support the harmony without drowning it.
- Clarity: an airy layout in F minor, careful and complete engraving with fingerings.

Crock'Music scores include the lyrics and are printed on sturdy natural Rives 170g paper.
These individual scores are available in songbook form, but also as downloads.
