Edited by Louis Koehler and published by the reputable Edition Peters, this 76-page book offers a comprehensive collection of all 18 Nocturnes by John Field, the composer often credited with pioneering the Nocturne genre. First published in 1812, Field's Nocturnes have captivated audiences for centuries with their emotive, atmospheric compositions.

Mood Over Form
Unlike traditional compositions that follow a particular form or thematic development, Field's Nocturnes are unique in their approach to emotional expression. They do not adhere to a set structure, but rather aim to evoke a specific mood—often one of "consoled sadness." These pieces are designed to connect directly with the listener's emotional state, creating an intimate, evocative musical experience.

A Legacy of Influence
It was the emotional depth of these pieces that inspired later composers, most notably Frédéric Chopin. Chopin took the Nocturne genre to new heights, further developing its expressive potential while retaining the signature qualities of tenderness and dreaminess initiated by Field.

Scholarly Edited for Authenticity
Louis Koehler's meticulous editing provides musicians with an authoritative text that remains faithful to Field's original works. This ensures that pianists are provided with the most accurate interpretation, making it an invaluable resource for both students and professionals alike.
