Alfred Zamara

Alfred Zamara (1863 – 1940) was an Austrian composer and harpist.

He was the son of Antonio Zamara (born 1823/1829/1831/1835-died 1901) and was born in Vienna. Like his father, became professor of harp at the Vienna Conservatory and solo harpist at the Vienna Hofoper. He and his sister, Theresa, were both taught the harp by their father. Alfred Zamara wrote many salon pieces, made transcriptions for the harp, and edited François Joseph Naderman's "Sieben Etuden"; among his pupils was Joseph E. Schuëcker (1886-1938) from 1900-01.

His father, Antonio Zamara, had been born in Italy but the family moved to Austria. His sister, Theresa, was a member of the Budapest Opera and later taught harp at the Vienna Conservatory.
