That takes me back, as it was very popular with electronic organists in the late 70s early 80s, so I heard quite a lot of it.
Nicely played, I enjoyed it.

Yes.From '76-77.One of the composers wrote the song for his newborn daughter Adeline.They were looking for a pianist to play and record .Found Clayderman (a young unknown )to that time,the rest is history.
Wow, great job, luv that tune. It inspired me to take up piano again back in the early 90's. I used to practice along for hours, ( not that it did me much good haahaa, some of those fast passages left me lost). Armed with Clayderman CD, Music Album, ( which matched his recordings perfectly) and away I'd go.
Did you use a midifile for backing or were you lucky enough to find a style?
Unfortunately those beautiful Clayderman arpeggio's which I enjoyed playing, don't work with keyboard playing.
Thank you so much for bringing back some great memories. Actually got to meet Mr Clayederman a few years ago, would you believe in an elevator.
Hi Rico, we sure did. He didn't speak much English, but he was extremely polite. It was after a show he watched at the Sydney Hilton approx 2001/02. He was getting on the elevator after the show, we were waiting too. Actually husband did most of the talking, I was too awestruck. I'd been a fan of his for many, many years, probably had all his cd's & music albums etc , and there he was chatting too us after the show. It was pretty amazing.
[quote=KeyBTyros]Hi @ll And thanks for @ll the reply's
Rikki i did use indeed a midi backing did you spoke to him :))

I find this so funny becuase Clayerman's music is quintessential elevator music. Not to say his music isn't lovely- it is and so was your performance Rico.
