john field, alkan, faure

Yep, John Field and Grieg are main ones

[pseudopianist]

John Field of course

Sorabji also did some nocturnes if I remeber correctly

[nicolaievich]

Liszt composed three famous nocturnes. also Rachmaninoff but not that famous.

[jim_24601]

Poulenc also wrote some nocturnes.

[thalbergmad]

Thalberg

There's also Barber's Nocturne. And for a contempory take on the nocturne check out Lowell Liebermann's Nocturnes. (I think he's written seven so far.)

try john field nocturnes. they, i believe are a little easier than chopin.  they are beautiful.
schirmer publishes a book of the nocturnes, but you have to buy it from another sight, like sheet music.com, active musician.com, hal leonard.com, well, try those sites to begin with.  to listen to a sample of john field nocturnes, you can go to amazon.com, or barnes and noble.com, and type john field nocturnes by miceal o' rourke. he does a beautiful job,

hope this helps,
