In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the term ‘notturno’ referred to vocal or instrumental compositions which were generally played outdoors. Hadyn, for instance, composed eight Notturnos for King Ferdinand IV of Naples, and Mozart a Serenata notturna (KV 239). But it is the Irish pianist and composer John Field (1782-1837) who invented the nocturne for piano at the beginning of the nineteenth century. He gave this title to a number of his short pieces (written between 1812 and 1835) characterized by an expressive melody in the right hand accompanied in the left by broken chords. However, the keyboard writing associated with this genre had already been extensively used in France by the end of the eighteenth century and a composer like Louis Adam wrote several piano sonatas which include movements similar in style, entitled "Romance" |
