Its tempo (close to the human body beat) and duration (3 minutes) will make it the hit of the summer!

The numerous triplets are a wink of Rhapsody in Blues from George Gershwin.

The wind carries away the yellow leaves fallen on the pavement, the cafes put tables and chairs in... I evoke here a fall tour that is difficult to do quietly in Paris. How to take your time in this city with so many streets to cross (musical phrases of 3 measures), cars or buses to avoid (musical phrases starts on the second time). While the chestnut vendors are on subway entrances, how not to hurry like others (theme B) to 'catch' the subway...
