The French composer and flutist, Naudot was well known in Paris as a player and teacher. Naudot clearly moved exclusively within the aristocratic and rich bourgeois circles of Paris. Naudot did not hold any official office but the numerous dedications of his works seem to imply that Naudot enjoyed the protection of many patrons of the arts. Naudot’s compositions consist mostly of flute concertos and sonatas for 1 or 2 flutes and continuo, nearly all published in Paris between 1726 and 1740.
