What is Minimalism?

When planning my piece I looked at the style of minimalism, artist such as 'Philip Glass' are famous for this.

Minimalism is when a short piece of music is repeated over and over again to form a piece of music which is often stretched out for a long period of time.


‘A style or technique that is characterized by extreme sparseness and simplicity’


‘Minimalism is the perfect example of a musical

style that is cultivated without being classical’
