Perhaps when you listen to a Nocturne (a small form in classical music), most likely the name Chopin would come to mind. It was really John Field who first elevated the Nocturne to the status later achieved by Chopin and other great romatic composers.
After months of meandering and dawdling in the literature canyon, this afternoon I finally emerged holding in my hand triumphantly a finished read of 'The Disorderly Knight'; this book being Dorothy Dunnett's third book of a six-book series nicknamed the Lymond Chronicles.

Et l'aulbe encor' de ses tresses tant blondes
Faisant gresler mille perlettes rondes
De ses trésors les prez enrichissoit
There it is. Onward to book four of the series, 'Pawn in Frankincense'.
