Ballad Pour Adeline - Richard Clayderman cover. Ragtime/Stride piano version by Martycli Piano Guy

This is my version of Richard Clayderman's most famous recording. It was actually written by Paul de Senneville the maestro who composed much of Clayderman's repertoire. I enjoy listening to the iconic French pianist with his dulcet tones but I have heard many versions of this tune by many pianists that nearly always sound the same that I wanted to do my own interpretation - and here it is.
I can't offer you Clayderman's impeccable suavity so you'll have to settle for cute animal videos.
Mine is a slightly up tempo fun version rather than a ballad. I think it sort of works and had fun doing it.

J'aime beaucoup Martyn. Elle a de la chance cette Adeline qui insipre tellement de monde 😂 et ton interprétation est ravissante pour l'oreille.
Je suis impressionnée par cette douceur qui prend place de plus en plus dans tes compositions et interprétations, sans pour autant masquer l'energie qui se révèle dans to jeu de piano. Bravo Bro. 🙏

[@martycli9299]

Merci Laila, la mélodie est un instrumental sans paroles. Je pense que les gens aiment juste la mélodie et je ne pense pas que quiconque sache qui est Adeline ou si elle existe en réalité ! C'est une belle mélodie mais elle a été trop jouée et je voulais lui donner une approche différente. Je suis contente que tu l'aies aimé. Merci de m'avoir écouté, Sis. 😀

I have experience of both! In Scarborough they pinched my ice cream. I learned my lesson as in Bridlington I managed to fend 6 of them off and not lose a single chip! You're right they're huge. It would be quite funny except it isn't! 😂

Hi Martyn a bit peeved YT didn’t send the notification for this one 🙄 🤷🏿‍♂️ it’s so annoying when that happens. What an innovative way to create a totally new musical landscape from the piece that made Richard Clayderman a rich man. I still sometimes get asked to play it in hotels - but this gives it a real spring clean and dust down with your customary sonic and visualisations. I really like it with the stride backbeat and the offbeat snare that enters at c.2’20 as it can sometimes be a tad pedestrian in its original. And you didn’t disappoint with my longing for a key change and nice n bright in D major 👌🏻 lovely stuff and a great concept 😀 thanks for sharing this ✅ G

[@martycli9299]

Yes that would be annoying Gareth but very happy you found it in the end. I'm always happy to receive your comments so I'm not happy either if YT are not spreading the news as they should..
I was just playing around with this tune, got bored, started messing about with it and this emerged. It's nice when you produce something unexpectedly. It always amazes me how much you can change a tune without ruining it and sometimes maybe even improving it. Thanks for listening and for the kind comment. Best ..... Martyn :)
