description John Field Overview
John Field (1782-1837) was an Irish pianist and composer whose career unfolded largely in Russia and continental Europe. He is closely associated with the development of the piano nocturne, a lyrical single-movement genre built around a singing melody and an arpeggiated accompaniment that later influenced Chopin and other Romantic composers. His concertos, sonatas, and shorter piano pieces are relevant to performers tracing the transition from Classical keyboard style to Romantic pianism.
