In 1802 Clementi took Field to Paris and later to Germany and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/513251\/Russia\">Russia<\/a>. Field quickly secured recognition as a pianist and composer and in 1803 settled in Russia, becoming for a time a popular and fashionable teacher. He played extensively throughout Europe during the next 30 years and had great success with one of his E flat piano concerti at a Philharmonic Society concert in London in 1832. He is credited with being one of the earliest to develop the use of the sustaining pedal, both in the prescription of it for his music and in his own\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/451526\/performance\">performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Field was one of the earliest of the purely piano virtuosos, and his style and technique strikingly anticipated those of Chopin. As a composer he was at his best in shorter pieces, where his expressive melodies and his imaginative harmonies, often chromatic, are not exposed to the strain of long development. Field wrote seven piano concerti and four sonatas, in which high quality is often apparent but not consistently maintained. In the nocturnes, more concise and intimate than his larger works, Field\u2019s music is distinguished in style and varied in mood.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/pianonotes.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/220px-Thomas_Moore_after_Thomas_Lawrence.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2121 alignleft\" alt=\"220px-Thomas_Moore,_after_Thomas_Lawrence\" src=\"https:\/\/pianonotes.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/220px-Thomas_Moore_after_Thomas_Lawrence.jpg\" width=\"123\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a>Thomas Moore<\/b><b>,<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0(born\u00a0May 28, 1779,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/172746\/Dublin\">Dublin<\/a>, Ire.\u2014died\u00a0Feb. 25, 1852,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/644871\/Wiltshire\">Wiltshire<\/a>, Eng.),\u00a0Irish poet, satirist, composer, and political propagandist.

It was perhaps the most translated poem of its time, and it earned what was till then the highest price paid by an English publisher for a poem (\u00a33,000). Moore\u2019s many satirical works, such as\u00a0<em>The Fudge Family in Paris<\/em>(1818), portray the politics and manners of the Regency period.<\/p>\n<p>In 1824 Moore became a participant in one of the most celebrated episodes of the Romantic period. He was the recipient of Byron\u2019s memoirs, but he and the publisher John Murray burned them, presumably to protect Byron. Moore later brought out the\u00a0<em>Letters and Journals of Lord Byron<\/em>\u00a0(1830), in which he included a life of the poet. Moore\u2019s lifelong espousal of the Catholic cause led him to produce such brilliant works as his parody of agrarian insurgency,\u00a0<em>The Memoirs of Captain Rock<\/em>\u00a0(1824), and his courageous\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/65924\/biography\">biography<\/a>\u00a0of the revolutionary leader of the 1798 rebellion,\u00a0<em>The Life and Death of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/208891\/Lord-Edward-Fitzgerald\">Lord Edward Fitzgerald<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(1831).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/pianonotes.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/balfe.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2124 alignleft\" alt=\"balfe\" src=\"https:\/\/pianonotes.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/balfe.jpg\" width=\"109\" height=\"144\" \/><\/a>Michael William Balfe<\/b><b>,<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0(born\u00a0May 15, 1808,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/172746\/Dublin\">Dublin<\/a>, Ire.\u2014died\u00a0Oct. 20, 1870,\u00a0near\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/635822\/Ware\">Ware<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/263870\/Hertfordshire\">Hertfordshire<\/a>, Eng.),\u00a0singer and composer, best known for the facile melody and simple\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/50461\/ballad\">ballad<\/a>\u00a0style of his\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/429776\/opera\">opera<\/a>\u00a0<em><a id=\"ref147362\" name=\"ref147362\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/EBchecked\/topic\/71582\/The-Bohemian-Girl\">The Bohemian Girl<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Balfe appeared as a violinist at age nine and began composing at about the same time.
