👧🏻 Sick of sheet music being inaccurate and unplayable?

Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano scores for pop music with minimal technical demand as close to the original as possible. Sheet music for songs have lyrics and harmonic chords on.

😔 Alas, at the request of the track's copyright holder, the minimum price is $3.

💰 I can discount 50 % off for 2+ files. Comment under my youtube video to get it.

The Netherlands for Eurovision 2025.

🎹 Notice that there are 3 files attached: leadsheet, solo and duet. With no significant technical difficulties. Original lyrics and harmony chords are included in the sheet music.

💽 I added an mp3 file as well.

The track is transcribed in the original key, F Sharp Harmonic Minor, and uses a simple chord progression but with a lot of inversions and extensions. It is a very sad key, especially in its harmonic mode. Extended chords create a unique sound that allows to stand out in the songs' competitions.

Its cyclical chord change (loop) highlights melodic development.

The vocals are typed using the suboctave clef (the treble clef with the numeral 8 below it). Sing one octave lower than written.

“C'est la vie” is composed with a mixed of straight, rubato and swinged rhythm in quadruple time 12/8. Accent strong beats. Notice that the intro is slower than the rest of the song.

I used the original instrumental version to create the piano accompaniment so it's close to the track.

Avoid learning both hands together in the very beginning; you will fail immediately and abandon the score.

Imitates vocal delivery by Claude: a predominant articulation is tenuto.

Avoid precise rhythm, sing freely, use rubato and fermata (𝄐) here and there.

The melody is with sudden changes of rhythmic pattern. I spent two days rewriting it from 4/4 to 6/8 to 3/4 and finally realizing that 12/8 will be a perfect time to notate all patterns that Claude and his co-composers used.

Notice arpeggiato.

Much of the song’s aesthetic value is generated through stepwise motion that reminds of human speech.
