On February 28th, 1953, Richard Clayderman was born in a small town in Paris.

As early as 3 years old, Richard had an indissoluble bond with music. One day, when my father came home, he took out something like a pencil case with two rows of small square holes on it, put it to his mouth, moved it left and right a few times, and blew out beautiful music. Richard felt very curious. His father told him, "This is a musical instrument. It's called a harmonica. Try it." Richard took the harmonica and played it hard. He heard an ugly noise and scared himself. Dad smiled: "Learn slowly, and you can play nice songs." Sure enough, under the guidance of his father, it didn't take long for the clever Richard to learn to play the harmonica.

at the age of 4, Richard fell in love with the piano again. Richard's father is a piano teacher and plays the piano at home every day. At this time, Richard is listening. He loves listening to the music played by his father and the piano. He thought to himself, the piano is really a good thing. As long as you press those black, white and white keys with your hand a few times, you can make a better sound than the harmonica. I will try it.

Dad was very happy when he saw that Richard was interested in the piano, so he began to teach him to play the piano. Under the guidance of his father, Richard practiced the piano for five or six hours every day, but he didn't feel tired at all, because the wonderful sound of the piano intoxicated him and made him feel indescribable happiness.

Richard is very talented in music. He composed a piece of music when he was five years old. It is a short story that Richard wants to tell the piano. The song is called Fifi Waltz. Who is Feifei? It turns out that Feifei is the name given to Richard by his father. Richard's family and friends like to call him Feifei.

the song is finished. who should I play it for? Soon, a small family party was held at home, during which Richard played his "Fifi Waltz". Adults can't believe that such a beautiful tune was written by Richard, who was only five years old. Everyone gave Richard a thumbs-up sign. After listening to the praises of the adults, Richard became more fond of music.

under the careful guidance of his father, Richard's piano skills have improved so rapidly that even he feels a little strange.

At the age of p>12, Richard was admitted to the Paris Conservatory of Music. Dad gave Richard an old-fashioned small organ as a reward. From then on, Richard found that there were other good musical instruments besides the piano.

At the age of p>16, Richard won the first prize in the school music competition and graduated with honors. After graduation, Richard wanted to do something different, so he formed a small band with other music partners.

My father is very supportive of Richard and takes them to the rehearsal hall to practice. He knows that only through constant exercise can Richard achieve something in music.

After hard practice, finally, Richard and his friends' small band began to perform formally. Those days were very hard. They had to rehearse and perform, earned a little money and bought many musical instruments before they could continue to perform. Unfortunately, at this time, Richard's father suddenly became seriously ill and could not support Richard financially. In order to perform, Richard had to scrimp and eat, often filling his stomach with sandwiches. As a result, he got gastric ulcer at the age of 17 and had to go to the hospital for surgery.

Through training in a small band, Richard plays the piano better and better. People think that he will be a promising classical pianist, because he is best at playing Chopin, Label, Debussy and others. If he continues to work hard, he will become a tomorrow's star in classical music. However, after accidentally becoming interested in popular music, in order to let more people know about music, Richard resolutely changed direction, broke through tradition and surpassed himself, and brought music and romance to more ordinary people with his superb piano playing skills and deep sense of music.

Success and opportunity always favor those who have been working hard. Soon, Richard was taken by a famous French record producer and released his first record, Poems for Adeline (also known as "To Alice"). This record, as soon as it was released, caused a sensation. Richard's special playing style and implicit personality touched many listeners. Poetry for Adeline sells well in 38 countries all over the world, with a total sales volume of 22 million. Even record manufacturers didn't expect it to sell so well.

Richard became a hot performer in a blink of an eye and achieved success. Richard's father was very happy, but unfortunately, he died of illness soon and had no time to share his son's future success. Before his death, Richard's father was still very proud, because he believed that Richard would make great musical achievements. From the poem to Adeline, Richard gradually became a world-famous pianist. Some critics said: "Richard is the person who popularized piano music all over the world after Beethoven, and what he did is unparalleled."

Music has no national boundaries, especially Richard's music.

When Richard was a child, when he was studying geography, he heard the teacher talk about the ancient and mysterious China in class, and he was very yearning for China from then on. However, Richard never thought that he would come to China one day. However, with the bond of piano and music, Richard finally had the opportunity to come to China and became good friends with China people.

In p>1992, Richard performed in China for the first time. When he first came to this ancient oriental country, Richard made many friends in China. Now, after more than ten years, Richard has more and more friends in China, but what impressed him most were three children who loved music. Their names were Shao Rong, Liu Qi and Sun Lian.

When Shao Rong was 9 years old, Richard was going to give a solo concert in China. At that time, Shao Rong was chosen to work with Richard on the stage because of his excellent piano playing. Xiao Shaorong was very happy to hear the news. He felt so lucky that he could work with the piano prince, which he never dreamed of.

On the day when he went out to perform with Richard, Shao Rong saw Richard get up early to exercise every day, so he asked inexplicably, "Uncle Richard, you are so tired from performing, don't you feel tired when you get up to exercise every day?" Richard told Shao Rong with a smile: "If a person wants to do things well, he must have good health. An artist, to maintain a good figure and temperament, will bring more beauty and enjoyment to people. " From then on, Shao Rong remembered Richard's words, and like Richard, he would not only play the piano well, but also have a healthy body and constantly dedicate the piano to people who love life.

There was a boy named Liu Qi in Nanjing. When he just remembered, he heard Richard playing Starry Sky, which felt like the sound of nature. He said to his parents, "I want to learn piano, just like Richard!" After that, Liu Qi began to study hard and made great progress. But when Liu Qi was 15 years old, his eyes suddenly went blind. The unexpected blow didn't make Liu Qi lie in the dark. At this time, he thought of Richard's "Destiny". Liu Qi thought: "I will not bow to fate, but must overcome difficulties with tenacious perseverance!" " After that, Liu Qi continued to practice the piano with unimaginable perseverance and conveyed the light of his inner world with the sound of the piano. At a press conference, Liu Qi played Richard's Childhood Memories with sincerity, and Richard was deeply moved by Liu Qi.

Unlike the first two children, Sun Lian is a girl. At the age of 4, Sun Lian studied piano in Japan. After returning to China at the age of 6, Sun Lian once heard Richard's piano music from a record. From then on, she fell in love with Richard's music and admired Richard himself. Later, Sun Lian collected many photos of Richard and knew Richard's birthday and constellation like the back of his hand. Sun Lian dreams of Richard. When Sun Lian was 9 years old, her dream came true. She was not only lucky enough to meet Richard, but also performed with him. Sun Lian was very happy because she finally saw Richard's smiling face. Richard is also very happy, because he likes this girl who loves music, and he is very happy to cooperate with children in China.

Through the communication with China's big friends and children, Richard knows more about China and loves it more. Up to now, Richard has performed 61 performances in dozens of cities in China, winning more than 811,111 audiences.

Richard loves China's music very much. In order to promote China to the world, Richard changed many China songs into piano music. He is the foreign artist who has adapted and played China's music works the most in the world. When we hear Richard's adaptation of "A Big River", "Butterfly Lovers" and other music, we will feel a sense of intimacy towards Richard. We know that Richard used China's music to express his respect for the audience in China in this way.

Richard is admirable and enviable. However, although he has a good musical talent, behind his brilliant achievements, he has made efforts that others can't imagine. Without the influence and continuous support of his father and his selfless efforts, Richard would not have become the most romantic piano poet and spread the melody of love to the whole world.
