me too it made me remember" the raindrop" from chopin....before I looked to the comments....
-
@samuelishmedia Field was jealous of Chopin's genius.....
-
@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.
-
@invertedchords No... its not the same piece.
-
@Khanalee 'reminds' you? Just listened to it--it's the same piece.
-
This reminds me of Chopin's so-called "Raindrop" preluded.
-
A fascinating find. Thanks for uploading.
-
@XxCarrieAnne91xX i read that Field came up with the Nocturne music style
Chopin popularized it
-
Sounds somewhat similar to Chopin's Raindrop Prelude --- one Field biography says Chopin was inspired by Field? Food for thought ---
-
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...
john fields is my great grandad im so proud of his music

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?
