Background=Clément grew up in a small, remote village with his mother and father. His parents were talented concert pianist, who gave up their careers to move to the countryside and raise him. At an early age, Clément exhibited immense musical giftedness from a very young age after taking to the piano, inheriting his parents natural skill. Music quickly became a way to bond with his parents, before he could talk he was learning piano to explain his emotions. His parents nurtured his talent, spending long hours teaching him piano alongside his home schooling. When Clément was 10, he started developing deafness. In this era, no one understood deafness. The reasons for it was unknown, some theories were autoimmune disorders and lead poisoning. At first, he kept it a secret from his parents and avoided social situations where it would be apparent. But as it worsened with progressive deafness, he became increasingly isolated and depressed. His parents soon caught on when they called him to come home from play and he didn’t respond. The physician that visited spoke with finality, he was going permanently deaf. His parents immediately grew distant from him, showing him he had been raised a heir moreso than a child. Clément worked hard despite his growing hearing loss, constantly pursuing his piano concerts and competitions. Growing in popularity with the world and yet not with his parents. They thought he was hopeless, a deaf man could never play piano. So they barely paid attention. When he was 20, his parents gave him a large hefty sum of their money to go away. So Clément took the money and went to the city of Vienna, Austria. Where he heard the greats of classical music lived. He attended a music college there, working extra hard with his deafness. Yet it was difficult, around his mid 20s did the deafness reach halfway, giving him painful tinnitus and sounds were jarring. He had to use trumpets to amplify voices and sounds. Despite this, he continued working hard and graduated top of his class. He continued composing and performing with a profound intensity, but at age 26 he lost all hearing. He relied on notebooks to talk to people, and on the piano he used vibrations to feel the music he was writing. He loved his piano because it was his only true friend in his life. He went on to compose symphonies that put him on the globe, becoming a celebrity. He played for royalty, for the rich, and for the poor. Now at his 40s, he still continues on.
