Composed by John Field
Edited by Joseph Smith

An important early Romantic composer for piano, John Field (1782-1837) is best known today for his Nocturnes, brief, lyrical solo piano pieces that exerted a lasting influence on such later composers as Chopin and Schumann. This collection brings together the most popular and often performed of the Nocturnes, along with a selection of Field's important solo piano works. This Dover original compilation was reprinted from authoritative early editions.
