scherzo (skrtso)
noun
plural scherzos
or
scherzi (-ts)
Music.
A lively movement,
commonly
in 3/4 time.
[Italian, joke, scherzo, from Old Italian scherzare, to joke, perhaps of Germanic origin.]
Scherzo
Scherzo (Italian,
"joke"
or "play"), in music, rapid, vigorous instrumental composition
in triple time,
usually the second or third movement of an extended work, such
as a sonata,
symphony, or string quartet. In instrumental music of the 17th
century
the term scherzo was used as a title for light
pieces of irregular form. The modern scherzo was given its
character by Ludwig
van
Beethoven. He developed the form as a substitute for the
minuet,
which until about 1800 was the customary third movement of a
symphony.
The Austrian composer Joseph Haydn had already altered the
stately character
of the minuet, often making it a spirited, lively peasant
dance. Most scherzos
retain the formal outlines of the minuet, a term that
persisted until the
time of Beethoven. Subsequent composers, including Frdric
Chopin and the Russian-born Igor Stravinsky, occasionally used
the scherzo
as an independent form.
