It is a beautiful romantic musical composition composed by Paul de Senneville to her daughter. Ballade pour Adeline sold over 22 million copies in 38 countries.

Richard began studying piano at an early age at the hands of his own father, who was a music teacher. At only 12 he entered the Conservatory of Music in Paris, where at age 16 he won the First Prize of Merit.

In 1976 he was summoned by a producer of sound recordings to test along with 20 other pianists for the record recording ballads. Finally Clayderman was elected and since then its popularity has increased significantly. Among these songs we can mention:

The clock: This song is that the time to stop so he can hug, Kiss and spend time with his girlfriend. He asks that the time does not end because he can not live without it and when wake up will feel that their lives will turn off.

Just the way you are: The song talks about that a person should never take things for granted, it is a song dedicated to a girl that describes it as perfect, he likes as it is and asking that I never changed, even if the continue fighting for her love because she is not sure what asks for her heart.

Moonlight Sonata: This song is a metaphor, where not known for thought and not give your love any girl for fear of betrayal, to the express which can no longer trust or in his eyes, and that the road is full of fear that continues and there is always hypocrisy behind the personality of one.

Perhaps Love: The song describes how he is love, both the good and the bad. Describes love as a window or a door, and where despite the difficulties the memory leads to heart everything good to the heart. He says that for some it is a way of life and for others a way of expressing their feelings. The following verse is highlighted: "Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain as a fire when it is cold outside, the Thunder when it rains".

Emoções: This song speaks about the emotions. Experienced a lot of emotions, where the stories are saved in the heart throughout life. It expresses love everything from make you happy to make you cry can do. And the presence of friends in difficult times is very important.

The Music of the Night: This song is what the music is a great companion in the solitude of night. It expresses that darkness awakens the imagination and makes the feelings to abandon the heart. To close the eyes begins a journey across the world's strange but wonderful, ideal to enjoy the music.

Currently it takes recorded more than 1500 different pieces of music, including The Vals Del Recuerdo Marcelo Boasso, Yesterday (Beatles), The Sound of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel), Querida (Mexican Juan Gabriel) and Memory. But contrary to what some claim that the only pianist playing light music, Clayderman has masterfully played the greatest pieces of classical music, as in the case of "For Elise" composed by the great Beethoven.

The recognition that must be carried out to Clayderman is that it has popularized the piano in such a way that some commentators point to it as the greatest populariser of this musical instrument of the 20th century. A noted German critic said that there had not been a populariser of the emblematic piano from the same Beethoven.

We can say that Richard Clayderman is the best French pianist and one of the best in the world, where his great works have transcended genre between light and classical music. Clayderman is one of the most talented men in the world.
