Fran�ois 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.

Old Songs is a small lovely piece from Pi�ces de Genre op.10 by Jules Massenet
this edition for lever harp include two different arrangements

The score is taken from the book Four Romantic French Songs (Quatre Chansons Romantiques) arranged for lever harp
​This book contains four pieces of music from late French Romanticism, arranged for lever harp. In all the pieces the timbre resources of the instrument are exploited to the maximum, with the use of harmonics sounds, notes at the soundboard, glissandos etc. Nevertheless, the arrangements are of intermediate difficulty, accessible to non-professional instrumentalists and students.
