Welcome to the "John Field" group!

John Field (26 July 1782, Dublin – 11 January 1837 was an Irish composer and pianist. He is best known for being the first composer to write nocturnes in the modern sense of the term. He attracted favourable comment from Joseph Haydn for his performances. By the time he was seventeen, Field had already premiered his First Piano Concerto (he wrote seven of them). He was lionized as a performer for several years before turning to composition, beginning with his first set of piano sonatas, dedicated to Clementi, published in 1801. Field is the founder of the piano nocturne and he is best remembered for his eighteen nocturnes which are single movement impromptu compositions for piano that maintain a single mood throughout. They are notable for their influence on Frédéric Chopin, who went on to write 21 nocturnes himself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Field_(composer)
