Programme note:
The waltz song "Je te veux" ('I want you') was composed by Erik Satie to a text by Henry Pacory. It was written for the burlesque singer Paulette Darty (the "Queen of the Slow Waltz") whose accompanist Satie had been for a period of time. The song was composed around 1897 - 1902, and Satie made various arrangements of it, inluding brass ensemble, orchestra, solo piano, and adding a Trio section.
