Re: William Presser Sonatina
there are at least two, the First in 1973, and the Second in 1974. I'd suggest you google it, and start there. Note- there is a horn sonatina as well, and maybe others.

Re: William Presser Sonatina
There are a number of very interesting pieces for solo tuba by William Presser. He was a contemporary of Walter Hartley's but his work is not as angular as Hartley's. It is always full of interesting "stuff." I like the Five Minute Sketches for tuba and piano.
His Suite for Six Tubas was one of the first large ensemble pieces for tubas, maybe the first sextet for tubas.
