A Terse Terzetto

As some of you know, the term "terzetto" originally meant a piece for three voices, but later in time was applied to a piece for three instruments. So why did I not just simply title this work "Terzetto"? Because one of the most famous works with that title, by Antonin Dvorak, is a large scale four-movement composition; where mine is a single movement one. So I needed an adjective that would indicate the smaller scale of mine and elected to use the term "terse". However, not in the sense that this composition has an attitude of gruffness, but rather that it is simply short. The attitude of this piece is actually one of playfulness in the outer fast sections. The middle section is slower and a bit dreamy for contrast. Which is another way of saying that the form of the entire work is a simple ternary one. I had actually considered entitling it as "A Terse Ternary Terzetto", but that doesn't roll off the tongue very smoothly. Too many "ters"!!
