In this arrangement of John Field’s Nocturne No. 5, the father of the nocturne’s melodic charm shines through the intimate setting of a string quartet. The piece is characterized by its flowing, song-like melody, which gently weaves between the instruments, supported by warm harmonies and a delicate, expressive texture. This arrangement offers a reflective and lyrical addition to any chamber music program, bringing a touch of early Romantic elegance to the repertoire.

Instrumentation:

Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello.
