很久以来,人们都把肖邦的名字与夜曲联系在一起。的确,肖邦创作的夜曲是他所有作品中极为精彩的一部分。肖邦在一生中写过十九首夜曲。当人们聆听这恬静而迷人的旋律的时候,能充分领略到大自然美妙的夜色,感受到作曲家发自心灵里的真挚情感。其实,夜曲这一形式片不是由肖邦开创的。早在1814年,爱尔兰出生的作曲家约翰·菲尔德(1782—1877)就已为钢琴写出了第一首夜曲。之后,他到巴黎开音乐会,并将他所写的夜曲介绍给肖邦。这种以钢琴为最常见的、较为自由的器乐曲形式,深为肖邦喜爱。当时他因祖国受到沙皇的侵略和蹂躏,被迫流亡国外。在巴黎,他厌恶醉生梦死、花天酒地的贵族生活,逃避巴黎的社交沙龙,不喜欢在公众面前演奏音 For a long time, Chopin’s name has been associated with Nocturnes.
