with John Field
Rondo 'Speed the plough'
dates from his early youth, this rondo is based on a lively tune by John Moorehead, contains a little more invention than some of his early piano works, but hardly to suggest a genuine creative talent. Field's early Speed the Plough rondo is in B-flat major. This Rondo ecossais in B, is a much accomplished piece of work. The Scottish flavour, such at it is, reflects the general enthusiasm for what was considered to be the quaint exoticism of Scottish folk music, the fashion for which had spread throughout Europe and reached Russia some years before.
