| Field: Favorite Nocturnes and Other Works for Piano$20 Minimum Order per Publisher |
Type: Bookby - John Field , Joseph Smith , ed An influential early Romantic composer for piano, John Field (1782-1837) redefined the term "nocturne." Formerly used to designate music to be performed at night, nocturnes came to be regarded as music that is nocturnal in mood. Field’s dreamy, poetic style contrasted sharply with that of his contemporaries, who favored exhibitions of clarity and velocity, and his works exerted a lasting effect on such later composers as Chopin, Liszt, and Schumann. This new collection brings together the most popular and often performed of Field's nocturnes, along with a selection of his most important solo piano works.
