Naderman Sonata No. 1 - Harpist in the Wild

[@JoshLayne]

I'm playing my arrangement for lever harp of this Sonata, available in my PDF book "Transcriptions for Lever Harp" www.joshlayne.com/store/?product=transcriptions-for-lever-harp-volume-1-downloadable-sheet-music-pdf If you play the pedal harp you can find the original for free (public domain) at IMSLP: imslp.org/wiki/7_Sonates_progressives,_Op.92_(Naderman,_Fran%C3%A7ois-Joseph)

Ok great! Because of Brook Boddie who use to live up the street from me I am becoming (the) harpist of Shreveport. People here love having a Louisiana harpist and they found out three things about me. 1. I am the great niece of Louis Armstrong 2. Brook Boddie was my harp teacher. 3. And I am a Louisiana Astronomy person. So all of these things are 😚making me the Shreveport harpist.

Virtuoso handeling of those levers. Liked the story about the little preludes.

Josh, this is a lovely lively piece! A nice fresh new sound. Like the echoing affect. Perfect for this season.

This is truly a breath of fresh air, thank you. Beautifully played and the Excalibur sounds so good. You ought to get a tee shirt made with "world champ speedy lever flipper". 😁

[@monikageczo]

Josh - just outstanding. It's been a joy watching you strive and progress in the harp over the years.

[@connieLo87365]

I love watching your hands. So smooth yet the notes are so rapid. Always a pleasure listening to you. Thank You.

[@sandragayle7866]

Funtastic! This is so beautiful and Amazing really I just got through practicing François Joseph Naderman sonatas Etudes and Rondos part 1 op. 91. Interesting that you would mention Jane Austen before my practice each evening I like to watch Jane Austen's persuasion. As well as Mikhail Baryshnikov dancing the Nutcracker. Thanks Josh this is why you are my favorite harpist I love your style playing and charisma. Well done!

[@pipbruce]

Amazing playing. Am going to share this!

[@carolinekruger5791]

Wow!! Those lever changes! Just beautifully played. Thankyou!

[@elizabethdexter3779]

Lovely, or should I say amazing 👏🏻. I love how you take your harp outside and it seems to stand up to playing outside

[@TamarSWalker7]

Lovely!

[@carmenfreeman693]

[@elizabethdexter3779]

By the way is it recorded outside? Do you have it amped?

[@connieLo87365]

Ps. What you are able to do on a lever harp could put some pedals to shame. So controlled.
