Sure, SL only needs <10GB so you can surely install the OS on that much space. Storing any large quantity of applications, movies, or music, however, and you might just be SOL.
My recommendation? Splurge and get an Intel SSD, probably the 80GB one if you can make do with that little space. That should be more than enough for all of your applications, and probably sufficient for your music, too.

Also of note: the smaller the SSD, the more rapidly you'll "age" it due to OSX not supporting TRIM.

Performance degrades to a lower, steady-state level once the drive has been "aged"... still many times faster than a spinning platter HDD, but read the above article to be enlightened.
