18 Nocturnes. Composed by John Field. Edited by Louis Kohler. Piano Sheet. Edition Peters. Score. Edition Peters #98-EP491. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP491).

ISBN 9790014004163. German.

John Field is credited as the true 'inventor' of the Nocturne. After experimenting with other names such as Pastorale, Serenade, and Romance, he settled on Nocturne when his first one was published in 1812.

Field's Nocturnes follow no known form, nor do they develop a given theme. Instead, they set up a mood and atmosphere of tenderness and dreaminess combined with a continuous flow of beautiful melody that appeals directly to the listener's willingness to share an emotion, mostly of consoled sadness. It was Field's Nocturnes that greatly influenced Chopin, who absorbed the emotional characteristics of the Nocturne style and used them to create his own unique expressive compositions.

Beatiful music
These are wonderful pieces to play. They very in difficulty. The Peters Edition is excellent, as expected. Excellent editing. The print is clear, the paper is easy on the eyes. The binding is important too. No permabinding here. This edition lays flat on the music shelf. No need to prop it open with extra books. This aids in rapid page turning. It's worth the extra cost.
