(Aldein, 1 August 1766 - Villaine, 4 March 1839)

Austrian composer, teacher and organist. Son of Franz Xaver Ladurner (1735-1782) and brother of Josef Alois Ladurner (1769-1851) and Benedikt Gabriel Ladurner (1779-1840), he received his earliest education from his uncle, Innocenz Ladurner (1745-1807), at the monastery at Benediktbeuern. He functioned briefly in 1782 as his father’s successor at Algund, but in 1784 he moved to Munich to attend the Jesuit Lyceum in music and philosophy. Following a brief position in Bar-le-Duc, he moved to Paris in 1788 where he became a well-respected teacher. In 1797 he was appointed as a professor at the Conservatoire and at the École Royale, where his students included Daniel François Esprit Auber. He married Mlle Magnier de Gondreville (c.1779-1825), a talented violinist; their son, Adolphe Ladurner (1799-1855), became known as a painter. In 1836, disabled by paralysis, he moved to his country home in Villain. As a composer, despite he wrote two operas, 'Wenzel, ou Le magistrat du peuple' (1794) and 'Les vieux fous, ou Plus de peur que de mal' (1796), and some chamber music, he was mainly known and praised by his piano sonatas.
