“Je Te Veux” meaning “I Want You” is a song composed by Erik Satie, a French Classical composer & pianist in 1902. This song originally is in a ballad waltz with sensual / erotic lyrics/poem by Henry Pacory (a close friend of Satie) to be performed in La Scala, a popular Cabaret in Paris. Other than the Cabaret waltz version Satie also arranged / composed various other versions; vesions of the “Je Te Veux” waltz : for piano and voice, for an orchestra of Brass instruments and for full orchestra, including a trio and a piano solo. This song gained popularity at the beginning of the 20th century.
For the Electone style, it is played in POP-Digital style. The double footed pedal work is new to me…. I have had a hard time controlling and coordinating my right and left foot playing together with both hands. In the beginning on practicing this song, I had muscles pains at my lower back, right thigh and buttocks 🙄😵😵💫. OMG ! Hahahaha. Then my teacher told me to watch out on how I sit because playing on ELS02C should be comfortable and shouldn’t have pains. Anyway after adjusting the seat and my posture, it got better and I am able to finish practicing this song. I did made few mistakes due to unable to perfectly coordinate all my limbs to play along with the set tempo at 144 and at the same time controlling the volume. I nearly gave up on recording this song …. But through perseverance, I pushed myself to complete it and recorded it as the best I can. Hence, I hope you’ll enjoy the video and don’t mind too much on the little ‘slips’. Will try to improve as I am planning to play another song using both the legs at a later date.
