Mariage d'amour (English: Marriage of Love) is a piece of French solo piano music, composed by Paul de Senneville in 1979, and first performed by the pianist Richard Clayderman from his album "Lettre À Ma Mère" in 1979.[2] Later, pianist George Davidson performed this piece of music from his album "My Heart Will Go On" with a slightly different version.[3] This version is sometimes erroneously attributed to Frédéric Chopin as "Spring Waltz" because of an upload on YouTube with the wrong title, which had reached over 34 million views before finally being removed.[4][5] As of September 2018, several new copies with that erroneous title are available on YouTube, and one of them has reached over 48 million views.[6]

Composition

The piece was written in the key of G minor. Having a tempo of around 72 bpm, the time signature changes several times, starting in 4/4, then moving on to 5/4 and 3/4, and then back to 4/4. It has a chord progression of Gm–Cm–F–B♭.
