Added by alastair-lewis, 14 Nov 2013 The term 'Nocturne' first appeared in the 18th century, it was derived from a French word meaning "nocturnal". It was used for musical works of multiple movements, and the music was generally intended to be played for evening parties. The more familiar form of a Nocturne is as a single-movement character piece for solo piano. These pieces which became popular in the 1800s were first composed by the Irish composer John Field, who is regarded as the father of the Romantic Nocturne. Stylistically the music featured a cantabile melody over an arpeggiated accompaniment in the left-hand similar to that found in guitar music. This free sheet music is for solo piano. It is suitable for a beginner. Sheet central : | Trois Nocturnes (64 sheet music) | |
