John Field

Having devised the Nocturne as a suitable decorative piano piece, the Irish composer John Field went on to much more, including seven piano concertos. He was born in Dublin on 26 July 1782. Study with Muzio Clementi and his prowess as a pianist led to his move to Russia in 1803 and touring Europe as a virtuoso. He died in Moscow on 23 January 1837.
