François-Joseph Naderman

Sursa Wikipedia

François-Joseph Naderman (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa ʒozɛf

nadɛʁmɑ̃]; 5 August 1781, in Paris – 2 April 1835, in Paris) was a classical
harpist, teacher and composer, the eldest son of the well-known eighteenth
century harp maker Jean Henri Naderman. The profession of his father,
luthier, is certainly at the root of his vocation.
There are 27 entries for François Joseph Naderman in the universities of
California among caprices, etudes, fantasias, variations and duets for harp
and harp, harp and flute, harp and cello, harp and horn combined Music
Catalog with estimate dates of publication.[1] His Sonatinas Progressives are
still regarded as some of the most important works in harp repertoire today.[2]

A student of Jean-Baptiste Krumpholtz, François Joseph Naderman became

a famous musician after the French Revolution, and his reputation continued
under the Consulate, the First Empire and the Restoration of the monarchy. In
1815 he was appointed harpist for the Royal Chapel and court composer to
the king,[1] and in 1825 he became the first harp professor at the
Conservatoire de Paris.[3] He soon began touring around Europe as a
virtuoso of the harp. He was a music publisher and a manufacturer of harps in
Paris at "The Golden Key", on Rue de la Loi. After his death his widow
continued to sell harps, including sheet music of her husband bearing the
stamp-signature: Widow Naderman.
