Comptine d'un autre été: L'après-midi
Yann Tiersen
Level: Intermediate
"Comptine d'un autre été: L'après-midi" is the most famous piano work by French composer Yann Tiersen. It became world-famous thanks to the film Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (known internationally as Amélie). You've probably seen it on social media or from people playing it on pianos at train stations.
The piece is both simple and emotional—ideal for pianists who want to express a lot with just a few notes. Now you can learn to play it yourself!
Tips for Playing
✔ Practice step by step: Repeat the Slow section as many times as needed until you feel comfortable, then move on to the next chapter.
✔ Hands separately first: Start by practicing the right hand (melody), then the left hand, and finally both together.
✔ Play with a partner: One person can play the melody while the other plays the accompaniment—great for learning together!
✔ Practice daily: Even just 15 minutes a day will help you improve steadily.
✔ Take your time: enjoy the process, and have fun playing!
