LES NUAGES - Richard Clayderman

[juliet_cpt]

Hi all,

I'm looking for the sheet music of "les nuages" by Richard Clayderman. I really love this song and I want to play it with piano. please help me, I cant find it for free in the internet, and online shopping is forbidden in the country I live in 

Thanks beforehand

Whilst Clayderman may appeal to some, it is mainly ex Liberace fans in their 90's. I have none of his arrangements and if I did, I would burn them.

If you have no Online Shopping, I am guessing you are somewhere in the Outer Hebrides.

Sorry I can't help.

I was curious and tried to find a decent recording on youtube. But there only seem to be midi and keyboard versions of it! And god it is horrible music 

Btw you dont need sheetmusic to play stuff like this. Just play an easy melody in minor with your right hand and arpeggio some chords with your left. Voila, Richard Clayderman.

But Clayderman couldn't arpeggio with the left hand...

Then I suppose the real trick in imitating clayderman music is playing a really lousy left hand

Why bother even playing the left hand? Just hit it the the keyboard, and voila! And somehow he is one of the must successful pianists atm... AND THE MAN CAN'T EVEN PLAY THE PIANO!

The original poster probably didn't come to this forum to have her musical taste insulted.

We only said/insinuated that it was bad quality music. Bad quality music can still be enjoyable

Yeah, I do agree.  I think most of us must have what we consider "guilty pleasures."  It all just seemed a bit mean-spirited ... and off-topic.  After all, nobody has been able even to answer her question!

People who come on here asking for pieces that are clearly copyrighted deserve all they get.

And yet no one made that point until now.  I wonder if anyone reported the post as inappropriate ... or thought to respond to the poster that in our part of the world (as opposed to those benighted regions where even internet commerce is forbidden), copyright infringement is frowned upon.

I could have done so, but i have become bored with doing such things.

I would have guessed that a bored or apathetic reaction would mean no response at all.  On the other hand, it takes little more energy to craft a constructive reply than a contemptuous one.

I realize now that I shouldn't have commented on this thread.  This is a forum in which some people are proud to be sh*theads (per another current discussion), and it's not my intention to be a decorum cop.  Mea culpa!

I am and have always been proud to be a shithead.

Who was it that said that pride cometh before a fall?

And as for "if music be the food of love, why don't rabbits play banjos?", the answer must surely be that people with guns and well developed taste buds have already been out and shot them all (though what they've done about the rabbits I've no idea)...

Best,

Please, please, please do not credit Claydermann with the creation of the all music he plays.  He is merely a successful front man for the real composers Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint.  There may be pieces he wrote himself, but this is not one of them.  It's just like saying 'I would like the music of 4th Ballade by Pollini, 19th Hungarian Rhapsody by Horowitz etc.

Out of idle curiosity I looked him up on Wikipedia. Apparently he went to the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 12 and was winning acclaim as a classical pianist by his late teens.

Financial problems in the family led him to get a job in a bank and play gigs in the evenings with bands. Eventually he auditioned for and got the job playing the piano on his first hit.

So he was probably good once upon a time.

I guess his family no longer have financial problems.

I just found him playing first mov of moonlight sonata. Candle lights, a fountain , a cheesy drum... That's some good shi't he's got there! Ooh, I now I hear strings! It doesn't get any better!

[stevebob]

I reckon it would be tough to find a video of him playing the last movement.
