john field: nocturne, unknown, unpublished

[TheKrista56]

me too it made me remember" the raindrop" from chopin....before I looked to the comments....

[Khanalee]

This reminds me of Chopin's so-called "Raindrop" preluded.

@Khanalee 'reminds' you? Just listened to it--it's the same piece.

[samuelishmedia]

@invertedchords No... its not the same piece.

[gerardbedecarter]

A fascinating find. Thanks for uploading.

Sounds somewhat similar to Chopin's Raindrop Prelude --- one Field biography says Chopin was inspired by Field? Food for thought ---

[iplayguitar0217]

@XxCarrieAnne91xX i read that Field came up with the Nocturne music style

Chopin popularized it

[samuelishmedia]

@XxCarrieAnne91xX Chopin was very much inspired by Field's music, although this was not reciprocated. Field disliked Chopin's nocturnes, saying they were overly dramatised.

[daytonmlivingston]

@samuelishmedia Field was jealous of Chopin's genius.....

Definitely the atmosphere John Field was well known for. I also find some of his piano concertos well worth listening too. E.g. the one were the melody of his 12th nocturne in G reappears in the middle part. I put the Nocturne itself on my site for Christmas...

[stoterman]

john fields is my great grandad im so proud of his music

[drpaulrsmith]

Congratulations, You have good reason to be proud! Are you a descendent through Field's illegimate son Leon Charpentier, b,1815, or his son Adrien Field, b. 1820?
