Cécile ma fille

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.

Aline Sans’s piano transcription of this poetic waltz dedicated by Claude Nougaro to his daughter is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between the jazzy elegance of the original and high-level pedagogical demands, while respecting the virtuosity of the upper levels.

Difficulty level: ⑨ (Difficult pieces)
This score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a repertoire of high technical precision.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: total mastery of the triple-time swing, requiring great suppleness to convey the swing inflections and Nougaro’s highly distinctive phrasing.
- Technique: executing various difficulties in both hands, including complex jazz harmonies, wide stretches and work on dynamics of great finesse.
- Clarity: an airy layout in C 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.
