Willem Andriessen

Willem Andriessen (Haarlem, October 25, 1887 – Amsterdam, March 29, 1964) was a Dutch pianist and composer. His compositional output was small due to the demands of performance and teaching, but he was nonetheless awarded a number of compositional prizes in Belgium and the Netherlands. He was the older brother of composer and organist Hendrik Andriessen and the uncle of Louis Andriessen and Jurriaan Andriessen, who followed in his footsteps as composers.
