This video is an extract from a longer video on this channel, all about NOCTURNES: youtu.be/sds8IAyRjlM?si=Md5TLnLMuGA3bEu_

Matthew King discusses the influence of John Field's first nocturne in E flat major on Chopin's famous E flat nocturne Op. 9, no. 2, and compares the two pieces. Matthew reads a contemporary criticism of Chopin, in which he is viewed unfavourably in comparison with Field.
