Field's Nocturnes & Other Short Piano Pieces are published within the 'Signature' Series, a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works, prepared from original sources by leading scholars. Includes informative introductions and performance notes.

Born of an Italian family, Joseph-Hector Fiocco (1703-41) spent most of his working life in Brussels and Antwerp, where he was maitre de chappelle at the cathedral. These attractive pieces have been selected from his only known harpsichord works, two suites of 12 movements each, and are typical of much Baroque keyboard music in their charm and tunefulness.
