La Foule

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 Édith Piaf monument is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between the fervour of the original Peruvian waltz (Que nadie sepa mi sufrir) and high-flying piano writing, while meeting the demands of the upper levels.

Difficulty level: ⑨ (Difficult pieces)
This level 9 score represents the culmination of the CrocK’MusiC path, ideal for advanced students seeking to master the intoxication and virtuosity of triple rhythm.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: mastering the fast Peruvian waltz, with its characteristic sway and inexorable acceleration simulating the movement of the crowd.
- Technique: executing various difficulties in both hands, including rapid movements, work on repeated notes and the power of octaves to sustain the dramatic crescendo.
- Clarity: an airy layout in E 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.
