SENNEVILLE – Melodie-Fantasie based on ‘Ballade pour Adeline’ – CELLO SOLO

Other Identification:
“Ballade pour Adeline” (French for “Ballad for Adeline”) is a 1976 instrumental pice composed by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint. Paul de Senneville composed the piece as a tribute to his newborn daughter, Adeline.

Movements or sections:
Song.

Instrumentation:
Original for piano solo, it is now presented for SOLO VIOLONCELLO
….
1 PDF.

Approximate difficulty:
This version for cello solo is probably the first ever for this instrument, and although there are many double-stoppings (therefore perhaps more suitable for adult players with developed hand/finger strength) it is perfectly playable. Neither does the piece extend beyond fifth position – might be a welcome addition, especially for more informal events.

Links (Audio – Visual), and known performances given by:
The first recording was by Richard Clayderman and world-wide sales now have reached 22 million copies in 38 countries. It remains Clayderman’s signature hit. The French trumpeter Jean-Claude Borelly recorded his version in the early 1980s, which used the same instrumental backing track as the original recording. Richard Clayderman performed a duet of the track with guitarist Francis Goya in 1999, and it was released on their studio album, Together. Again this recording used the original backing track. A new version of this piece was released on the Richard Clayderman studio album A Thousand Winds in 2007 to celebrate 30 years since the original release of “Ballade Pour Adeline”. Clayderman was accompanied by a new string arrangement by Olivier Toussaint.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
