Erik Satie’s (1866-1925) instantly recognisable "Je te veux" was originally scored for voice and piano, however, over the years this well-loved melody has also been scored for chamber orchestra, and most famously – solo piano. Translated into English, the title simply means ‘I Want You’, and the original song was performed by soprano Paulette Darty. The text is by Henry Pacory .

"Je te veux" is in 3/4 time, which gives it its distinct waltz feel throughout. The piece has often been described as a ‘nostalgic’ or ‘sentimental’ waltz, with the lyrics veering away from this and actually being quite exotic and sensual. This dichotomy between the lyrics and the music creates a certain charm about this work, and is perhaps one of the reasons that it is so well-loved today. In the piano version, Satie adds an extra section between where the text verses would come, which allows Satie to develop the nostalgic melody further. The sheer change in character in this work in comparison to many other works by Satie of this time makes "Je te veux" a real stand-out for the composer. A lot of Satie’s other works are much darker in their general atmosphere, whereas "Je te veux" is much lighter and seemingly positive in character. The piece could be seen as quite reflective, and rather ironically this has become one of Satie’s most famous compositions.

Such a beautiful piece played by a Master. Mr. Satie would be quite pleased with this wonderful effort. You are a professional, my friend. Love this. Hope you are well. God bless you. B:A:D

indeed it does have a nostalgic charm to it. I've been caught in a nostalgic frame of mind tonight. A few tunes I've listened to on magix have been catalysts for reminiscence. Another Superb performance GG. There's quite a few artists on this site I would pay £ for a live show & you are one of em. 🙂✌️ May your teaching inspire.

Bonjour GG,

Non seulement, avec toi, j'apprends à écouter la musique classique, mais aussi j'apprends l'histoire des musiques que tu joues. Celle-ci est magnifiquement jouée et est très romantique. j'ai adoré et, bravo. Par curiosité je vais essayé de trouver celle chantée par la soprano Paulette Darty.

Not only, with you, I am learning to listen to classical music, but also learn the history of the music that you play. It is beautifully played and is very romantic. I loved and bravo. This^^^^^^^
