A collection of pieces depicting various scenes from the streets of Paris with a light touch. It bears the dedication "In memory of François and Martine Carpentier Collet." Beautiful chestnut tree-lined avenues, elegant high-end boutique streets, stylishly dressed people hurrying by, the distant sound of a hand organ, and the adult entertainment district symbolized by the large red windmill. Shy French composers surprisingly do not write piano pieces on such themes. The American Rocerolle is a descendant of French immigrants. He also studied in Paris and brilliantly captured the spirit of Paris with his exceptional sensibility. One is immediately drawn in from the opening, which evokes nostalgic chansons. From chic pieces in the style of Satie, to elegant film music-like passages, dazzling review scenes, and lively French can-can. Diverse and never boring. It is easy to play without difficulty, around the level of Czerny 30. A truly stylish album that I particularly recommend to adult learners.
