Her frequent concert tours brought her into contact with the music of many Western European societies—particularly England, where she was struck by the enchanting "nocturnes" concocted by John Field. A noted composer herself, Szymanowska began incorporating aspects of Field's style into her own, and her performances of Field's work had a great deal of impact on the young Frédéric Chopin. |
