Yes, it is: Rosegarden doesn't need KDE (at least if the programmers
did their job). It just needs kdelibs which is much smaller and faster
to compile/install than whole KDE.

And please stop ranting about the major desktops. They are doing a
very good job, promoting Linux for the desktop thus drawing attention
to Linux thus winning more skilled programmers to Linux which gives
YOU more fantastic apps to use. Think about that when you complain
that some of these programmers decide to use some (imho fantastic)
libraries and don't spend time reinventing the wheel again.

There is muse. But this also uses Qt and might fall under your
definition of "bloated crap" :-P
