This sound is so calming. Whoever read this comment I wish you peace of mind, health and relaxation.

Lifes been hard lately but the music and the comments relax me. To everyone who has been feeling depressed is having anxiety and a lot of panick attacks I hope there is atleast one day were you feel at ease in the future. Sending love.

J. Field is a contemporary of C. M. von Weber. He was born a full generation before Chopin, more than 10 years before Schubert, and about as much after Beethoven. His music is absolutely charming, but coming between such peaks as Beethoven and Schubert, it was difficult for him not to suffer from their shadows.

So calming and healing. There is no need to compare the musician with other more famous ones. Good music or art work are those that touch your heart and soul, not according to the musician’s fame. I put it on as background music all day long in my house when I am home.

criminally underrated composer

If you are reading this, it doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy. peaceful life where all your dreams come true 💜

Until a few months ago I was obsessed with Chopin's nocturnes, now I have a new obsession... John Field's nocturnes.

I've never heard of this composer before, but my God what a talent, as another commentator has observed, I can see where Chopin got his inspiration. These Nocturnes are an absolute delight.

A peaceful and sweet afternoon, sitting inside the house looking at the garden, listening to birds chirping in the sunlight with a garden of flowers dancing in the middle of a light breeze. That's the feeling of listening to these nocturnes. Life is sweet and simple and everything is so calm that it feels like time has stopped.

In 1804, Field made his debut in St. Petersburg at the home of Prince Golitsyn. Soon he won the fame of the best pianist and teacher in St. Petersburg. After concerts in St. Petersburg, which were held with great success, Field decided not to return to his homeland. In Russia, he became a popular performer and composer: since 1804, he regularly gave concerts at the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, toured other cities of the empire. Field had many students, in particular, A. I. Dubuc (with whom Field, given his special talent, studied for free), M. I. Glinka, A. N. Verstovsky, A. I. Villuan, A. L. Gurilev etc From 1822, Field lived in Moscow, moving among the Moscow musical bohemia; here he was called "Ivan Romanovich". Field was a frequent visitor to the then fashionable literary and art salons.

このフリーを聞くすべての人が残った今年は、心配のない幸せで暖かい冬を過ごしてほしいです。

Makes me feel like I'm in a Jane Austen book. :')

The longer I listen to this the more peace it gives me. And peace is very hard to come by in my world. God bless John Field.

I can't get his music out of my head. I found him a couple of years ago on a day that I discovered one of my sons had cancer. I listened to this particular recording over over again all day long. I was crying as well. thanks Kelly. He has recovered but it was a long journey.❤

"Field is best known as the inventor of the nocturne"... and "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" (Wikipedia). For such a talented composer, so instrumental and vital to his era and genre, to have faded into obscurity is truly tragic.

I can't get over how beautiful these pieces are. How is it possible that Field is not more popular? I now see where Chopin got his inspiration from.

You'd think Field would be a bigger name among classical fans -- consistently lovely, smart and accessible

I wish there was a Love button. Such pretty music

There is such a tender character full of quiet melancholic views from windows watching the world go by.
