Erik Satie's "Peccadilles importunes" is a set of six short piano pieces composed in 1913. The premiere of the work took place on May 20, 1913, at the Salle Gaveau in Paris. The six movements are titled "Air du rat," "Plein de fantaisie," "Allons-y Chochotte," "Tango perpétuel," "Piccadilly," and "Je te veux." The first movement, "Air du rat," is a playful and whimsical piece that features a simple melody played in the upper register of the piano. The second movement, "Plein de fantaisie," is a more complex piece that features a variety of rhythms and textures. The third movement, "Allons-y Chochotte," is a lively and energetic piece that features a syncopated rhythm and a playful melody. The fourth movement, "Tango perpétuel," is a sultry and seductive piece that features a repetitive tango rhythm and a haunting melody. The fifth movement, "Piccadilly," is a lively and upbeat piece that features a jaunty melody and a playful rhythm. The final movement, "Je te veux," is a romantic and sentimental piece that features a simple melody played in the lower register of the piano. Overall, "Peccadilles importunes" is a charming and delightful work that showcases Satie's unique style and playful sense of humor. The pieces are relatively short and simple, but they are full of character and charm. The work is a testament to Satie's ability to create music that is both accessible and sophisticated, and it remains a popular and beloved work in the piano repertoire.
