Could someone help me to identify this piece?
on: August 17, 2009, 03:01:07 AM
Hi there!

I heard this while surfing the internet and wondered if anyone could identify it for me? I loved it so much!!
It’s the “A 2” in this album below

or the sample is in attached file “A2.mp3”

Thanks.

Oh god, I couldn't even get through half of that. It sounds like some awful piece written for a cheesy scene in a Japanese television show.

It sounds like something from a video game. You could ask on a video game forum, someone might be able to identify it there.

Cheesy is right! It's by infamously "World Famous and Beloved by All", Richard Clayderman. All he writes is cheesy crap that sounds very much like this bit of dribble.  :-X

Unfortunately I know who Richard Clayderman is. I was actually hoping I would never have to hear his music again for as long as I lived.

On a related note, there is a composition for piano and tape by Matthew Hindson called Plastic Jubilation, which takes a popular tune by Richard Clayderman and warps it into many different guises and parodies it in quite a genius way. That is possibly the only way I would listen to Clayderman.

Now, not necessarily genius, I have considerable experience "transforming" works, both insipid, and genius. So far my efforts haven't found their way here, but I'm getting ideas. In the mean time I'll look into Plastic Junction.

I remember quite a few years back that there were frequent TV ads for the "Timeless" works of RC (a name I just heard of when the ad was aired!), describing him as something just slightly above Genius, and far, far above the rest of humanity, when it came to composing 'timeless melodies for every music lover'. Obviously Liberace came to mind, but these to effortless moneymakers are quite different, but pretty much equally worthless as pianists (serious classical or otherwise).

Thanks for all your opinions!

I know there are many different thought about Richard Clayderman.
but I don’t care and have no idea.  ::)
I heard the song and loved it, loved the melody and would like to know the name of it.
I hope someone know and show me!!

Thanks again!

My grandma is so used of piano (because i practice it upstairs like all the time) that when I stop practising, she's missing it and plays Clayderman on Hifi.  :-X
