For thousands of years, Asians were locked into melody lines of great intracacy. Nobody ever thought to stack notes vertically until Pachelbel and other European composers like Bach and Beethoven who extended this practise. In modern times, as Asia opened up to the West, Richard Clayderman reinterpreted many Asian melodies by incorporating stacked harmonics into them and today he's one the most active people in the world who is conditioning Asians with more complex vertical harmony.
Dorothy uses the Technics piano ensemble piano to play another favorite Clayderman tune titled simply "Song in C Minor".
This week, I'd like readers and students to listen to some Clayderman segments on Youtube starting here...20 min Clayderman concert-- live in Japan 2012
