François Joseph Naderman

French composer

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 combined Music Catalogue, including caprices, etudes, fantasias, variations and duets for harp and harp, harp and flute, harp and cello, harp and horn, with estimated dates of publication. His Sonatinas Progressives are still regarded as some of the most important works in the harp repertoire today.
