John Field. One of Irelands greatest Composers?
This week Dr. Noel Culleton gives us a fantastic insight into the life of John Field, the Irish composer who inspired Chopin.
It is not universally known, that John Field is the father of the Nocturne. He was the composer who first brought this unique style to the ears of Chopin, who was so taken by the music, he not only followed it, but nurtured and developed it, moulding it into his own unique style.
