內容大鋼
約翰·菲爾德(John Field)1782年出生在都柏林的一個音樂世家。他的祖父是一名教堂管風琴師,對約翰年幼時的音樂教育異常嚴厲,令人驚訝的是孩子在這種壓力下居然保持了對音樂的熱愛。九歲時約翰師從於當時在都柏林的義大利作曲家喬爾丹尼(Giordani),並在那一年第一次登台演奏鋼琴。一年之後他們舉家遷往倫敦,約翰成為了當時大名鼎鼎的鋼琴教育家克雷門第(Clementi)的學徒。菲爾德對後世最大的貢獻莫過於他的夜曲(nocturnes)。雖然夜曲這個名詞並不是第一次出現,但菲爾德卻賦予了它全新的含義。值得注意的是,在菲爾德之前,除了練習曲、奏鳴曲、變奏曲、和幻想曲這類正規的音樂形式,鋼琴「小品」這種體裁還不曾真正的存在過。菲爾德創造的這個體裁併不注重任何主題的發展,也不注重結構,甚至也不屬於標題音樂,而旨在製造一種氛圍或環境,迎合了聽者和演奏者之間傳遞情感的需要。菲爾德的夜曲不管從名稱、概念、還是風格都預示了肖邦的到來,併為李斯特和門德爾松的鋼琴音樂提供了靈感和參照。它們是最早的「無詞歌」,是情感的語言,符合了浪漫主義中「音樂始於語窮詞盡之時」的說法。《CD菲爾蒂鋼琴協奏曲全集(4碟裝)》是利斯塔尼用鋼琴演奏的版本。
