Though showing this influence, the Wind Quintet No. 2 is a more abstract work, with a Hindemithian astringency and reliance on contrapuntal devices; in fact, there are moments where the piece brings Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik for wind quintet distinctly to mind. Asgeirsson's music is firmly rooted in a kind of early twentieth century Germanic and Middle European sensibility that keeps it from having a particularly strong individual voice, although within the framework the composer has carved out it works well.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Stephen Eddins, ALLMUSIC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuration: 12’50.
