François Joseph Naderman (1781-1835) was a classic harpist, composer and teacher of the period after the French revolution. Very famous in his time, he became the first harp professor at conservatoire de Paris, starting the glorious French school of harp.His works are regarded as some of the most important pieces in the harp repertoire today. Especially the seven progressive sonatas op. 92 are frequently studied, played and recorded.For their usefulness and didactic effectiveness, and for their high artistic quality, I selected some works by Naderman and I arranged them for the lever harp.As my intent is eminently practical and not at all historical or philological, I took some liberty in rearranging the pieces, changing some harmonic progression and adding some passages and cadences to simplify the lever changes. The fingerings for these varied passages are written in the score.Obviously I recommend that you compare my arrangements with the original score, on which you will find all Naderman's fingerings and, of course, the music in its original form.

Solos for late beginner lever harpists.
These pieces explore the keys up to three sharps or flats and simple time signatures.
Includes A Day in the Sun, Little Ballerina\'s, The Snow Queen, The Cat\'s Pyjamas andAlbertine

Debbie Vinick's arrangement of Here Comes the Sun is for the fully-levered harp with at least 34 strings tuned in E Flat Major. (With all the levers down, tune B's, E's, and A's to flat). Only two pages, it fits well into a gig book or music notebook. It is very playable and lever changes are written in red. It is best printed in color.
