Abstract

The history of scherzo can be traced back to the minuet with early court style. In the middle of 18th century, Haydn applied this genre into the 3rd movement of the sonata for the first time. Until the end of 18th century, this genre was continuously developed; on the music master Beethoven’s hand, Beethoven started to replace the minuet of large quantity of scherzo, and then greatly expanded the theatricality and satire on the basis of original humorous and deft features, thus the scherzo started to have some features of hero. In the romantic period in the 19th century, the scherzo was evolved into independent single-movement genre on Chopin’s hand, and its connotation was greatly expanded and deepened.
