Lista de obras
To the Irish pianist and composer John Field has been credited the invention
of the Nocturne, a form later adopted and developed by Chopin. Field was
born in Dublin in 1782, the son of a violinist, but moved with his family to
London in 1793, perhaps taking violin lessons from Haydn’s friend Salomon.
He became an apprentice of Muzio Clementi, appearing in a series of
important London concerts, and later touring widely. After concerts in Russia,
he remained in St. Petersburg, where he became a fashionable teacher and
performer, moving to Moscow in 1821. Illness brought him, in 1831, to
London again, a visit followed by a continental tour and a final return to
Moscow, where he died in 1837.
