At last! A Field's fan! :D I share your taste for his Nocturnes. I have the complete collection from Decca played wonderfully by Michael O'Rourke, and bought the Kalmus edition of the 18 Nocturnes. I don't have the sheet music with me right now, and can't quote the keys, but I enjoy very much the numbered 2, 3, 4, one in G Major and 2 or 3 more. I find in Field's Nocturnes great lyricism, inspirated melodies, interesting musical ideas, although not always enough exploited nor developed. Sometimes the ending bars are too simply considering the beauty of the preceding piece, but it's a minor detail. Still it's great music and I'd like to hear it more in recitals. Do you intend to play this pieces? I'm near to start the G Major one, which would be my first whole left-handed arpeggiatted piece.
