Brief Information:

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

Originally composed for piano solo.

The Clayderman recording features an accompaniment consisting of strings and drums. This tune has sometimes been attempted on the guitar too. This version for cello solo is probably the first ever for this instrumrent, 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.
