The piece was customized for Richard Clayderman by French composers and producers Paul De Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, from Richard Clayderman's Adeline.
Richard Clayderman was a French pianist, specializing in works by Chopin, Rabelais, Debussy and others, but that was when he was passionate about classical music. Later he turned to the world of popular music (Dream Wedding, Adeline by the Water, Nostalgia, to name but a few), playing repertoire composed by Paul ˙Seneville and Olivier? Toussaint.
Richard Clayderman was born in 1953, and is now a member of the National Council for the Promotion of Music. Richard Clayderman was born in France in 1953 and began his training at an early age with his father, a piano teacher. Richard Clayderman's extraordinary talent for playing the piano was recognized at the age of sixteen. Richard Clayderman at the age of sixteen graduated with honors from the Bird and Roe School in Paris, Kerns East Bird, and excelled in the repertoire of composers such as Chopin and Beethoven. Starry Night" combines piano performance with the beauty of nature, showing a beautiful and romantic night. The music flowing out from his fingers is like a river of amorous romance flowing into the heart, letting you be completely mesmerized in a romantic fairy tale.
In Richard Clayderman's piano music, the use of broken down chords is very much in most of his works, not only in the left hand accompaniment often appear in the pattern, in the right hand melody is also commonly used broken down chords to increase the color of the work. (e.g. "Melody of Love", etc.)
Additionally, the use of the right hand octave is often found in his works (e.g. "Dream Wedding", "Poem to Adeline", etc.), and the continuous octave melodic progression can be said to be a difficulty in Richard Clayderman's piano music, but at the same time, it is also a feature of his works, and this feature does play an indispensable role in the performance of his works. role.
The repetition of the main theme in the higher octaves is another distinctive feature of Richard Clayderman's piano music. The repetition of the main theme in the higher octave has a fresh, bright temperament and a crisp, clear auditory effect. (e.g. "Dream Wedding", "Dream Story", etc.).
The frequent use of rapid modulation and scale progression in the melody is a means Richard Clayderman used to make his piano music more full and beautiful, but also a major feature of his piano music and a major difficulty. The use of modulation and scale progression gives the music a more regular development and makes it more fluid to the ear. This is present in almost all of his piano works.
And one of the most important features in Richard Clayderman's piano music, in my opinion, is the use of single tones to form the main theme. Almost all of his piano works use monophony to form the main theme, and even the occasional use of intervals is a relatively simple interval progression (e.g., Rhapsody in Blue), and even fewer works use chords as the weave of the main theme.
In addition, Richard Clayderman often used variations on the theme, changing the left and right accompaniment patterns, entering from a weak beat (e.g., "Love Story," "Rose-Colored Life"), using wave tones, and adding flowers (e.g., "Vanessa's Smile") in his works to treat the music, so as to make the music's color more romantic and the melody more charming.
As we all know, "Prince of Piano" Richard Clayderman's piano music is known for its romance, and there seems to be nothing to talk about, but in his piano works there is a part of his romantic style is very different from his works. This part of the work to join the accompaniment of the electro-acoustic band or to add a very characteristic accordion or guitar and other instruments sound, and the piano sound into one, an inverse of the characteristics of the gentle and romantic, passionate, energetic, very dynamic, the music is full of South American style and exotic, so that the listener's blood boils, there is a kind of want to dance feeling. (e.g. Rhapsody in Blue, Torta, The Day You Loved Me, Drunken Haze, Corn (accordion), Heart and Hands (guitar), etc.)
While Richard Clayderman's piano music is characterized by so many features, in general, it's not difficult to technically achieve the goal of being able to play his piano music, and for a learner who is familiar with the piano's For a learner who is familiar with the 88 keys of the piano, as long as the fingers can move at a certain speed (not too fast), and an octave can be reached between the thumb and the little finger, he or she will be able to technically perform Richard Clayderman's piano works very well. But to be able to do it musically well too, it depends on each person's feeling and talent.
