Concerto No. 3
by William Presser
William Presser (1916 - 2004) was a prominent American composer, violinist, and a publisher of American chamber music particularly for brass and woodwinds. He was born in Saginaw, Michigan and received music degrees from Alma College, University of Michigan and the Eastman School of Music. His teachers included Roy Harris, Gardner Read, Bernard Rogers, Burrill Phillips, and Pierre Monteux.
Presser began composing at age 25 and has won many awards, with music in the catalogs of over twenty publishers. His chamber music for winds and brass are staples of the repertoire, appearing on many contest lists and college recitals.
Note of interest: William Presser's great-uncle was the famous music publisher, Theodore Presser. Unfortunately, Theodore Presser died the William was 9, and they never had the opportunity to meet. Nevertheless, William Presser founded Tritone Press & Tenuto Publications in 1961 and over his 41-year tenure built a catalog of over 350 works by over 50 American composers.
