John Field (26 July 1782 [?], baptised 5 September 1782 – 23 January 1837) was an Irish pianist, composer, and teacher. He was born in Dublin into a
musical family, and received his early education there, in particular with the immigrant Tommaso Giordani. The Fields soon moved to London, where Field
studied under Muzio Clementi. Under his tutelage, Field quickly became a famous and sought-after concert pianist. Together, master and pupil visited
Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg. Ambiguity surrounds Field's decision to remain in the former Russian capital, but it is likely that Field acted as a sales
representative for the Clementi Pianos. Field is best known as the inventor of the nocturne, but there is evidence to suggest that this is a posthumous
accolade.
Field was very highly regarded by his contemporaries and his playing and compositions influenced many major composers, including Frédéric Chopin,
Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, and Franz Liszt. Although little is known of Field in Russia, he undoubtedly contributed substantially to concerts and
teaching, and to the development of the Russian piano school.[1] « hide |
