Talk:Scherzo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instead of Beethoven symphony 6— the Razumovsky quartets of 1806 contain a repeated trio, and predate symphonies 4-6 which also do, postdating symphony 3 which I agree does not! Schissel | Sound the Note! 11:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

May it be noted in referance to... "The scherzo developed from the minuet, and gradually came to replace it as the third (or sometimes second) movement in symphonies, string quartets, sonatas and similar works. It traditionally retains the 3/4 time signature and ternary form of the minuet, but is considerably quicker."

It replaced the second movement when there was lack of a third movement. Almost never did it replace the slow movement. 131.123.71.149

[edit] repeats

If I understand the article, it does not reflect the common structure of: "scherzo exposition - repeat, scherzo development - repeat, trio exposition -repeat, trio development - repeat, scherzo exposition, scherzo development, coda". I'm not sure of the best way to express this in the article. Rsduhamel (talk) 23:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
