Chopin's Nocturnes have a special beauty which comes from their slow, elegantly expressive right melodies and the rich supporting left hand accompaniment. Chopin's Irish contemporary John Field (1782-1837) was actually the first composer to write a "nocturne" (a work conveying the mood of evening) for piano solo. Chopin modelled his after Field's. In the Nocturne in G minor, Op. 37, No. 1, Chopin's use of a dramatic downward sweep at the beginning serves to increase the melancholy of the piece, and sets a pensive mood.
