The Fabulous Song - Tapa dura

Ah, ce Frédéric ! Frédéric, oui, comme Chopin, mais réfractaire à tous les instruments de musique. Leçons de piano, de clarinette, de violon ou de contrebasse, rien ne lui réussit, jusqu'au jour où il est envoûté par la magie d'un chef d'orchestre. Il sera magicien lui aussi grâce à sa... cuillère de bois ! Ce récit est suivi de douze chansons expressives aux mélodies entraînantes, teintées d'accents jazz, rock, folk et dixie.
