François (Francesco) Krafft [Crafft]
(Brussels, bap. 3 October 1733 c.1800)

Flemish harpsichordist and composer. Son of JanLaurens Krafft, a poet, writer, music publisher and composer of German descent, and Elisabeth Van Helmont, he probably studied composition under Francesco Durante in Italy, where he won a prize with his motet 'In convertendo'. Some sources stated that he was a conductor in Brussels around 1760 and from 1770 to 1783 at the Royal Chapel there. On 7 April 1769 he was appointed organist at the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, a post he held until 23 August 1794. Besides, the survival of manuscripts of his religious works at the collegiate church of Sts Pierre et Guidon in Anderlecht and at the St Jacobskerk in Antwerp may cast some light on his activities. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music, among them, several masses, motets and psalms. He also left the opera 'Le faux astrologue' (1763), a collection of flute sonatas, six divertimenti, keyboard pieces and 'VI Sinfonie a quattro' (1756). His uncle was the engraver and printer JeanLaurent Krafft (16941768) and his cousin the organist and composer FrançoisJoseph Krafft (17211795).
