Abstract: This study examines musical brevity by linking it to artistic density, creative independence, and aesthetic individuality. Through score-analysis of three notably brief works, consideration of their historic contexts, and application of supportive musical, philosophic, and creative thought, the text apprehends musical brevity as no express indicator of artistic weakness but as a deliberate compositional strategy that can contribute greatly to the primary and essential meaning of a work.;Asteroidea is an original composition for woodwind quintet.
