Quand on n’a que l’amour

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 universal Jacques Brel anthem is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between the dramatic build-up of the work and demanding piano writing, while meeting the demands of the advanced levels.

Difficulty level: ⑧ (Difficult pieces)
This level 8 score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a repertoire of high technical precision and to work on the progression of intensity.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: mastering the emotional acceleration and the rigour of the tempo in the face of the growing breadth of the accompaniment.
- Technique: work on breadth of sound, powerful block chords and the management of the melodic breath to convey the “Brel crescendo”.
- Clarity: an airy layout in B flat major, 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.
