scherzo at English => English (The Britannica Concise) Of Explained:

(Italian: "joke") Musical movement in rapid triple time, which replaced the minuet in such genres as the symphony, sonata, and quartet in the 19th cent. The name was first used for light vocal and instrumental pieces of the baroque era. It formally often resembles the minuet, being in rounded binary form and having a contrasting trio section between two statements of the scherzo proper, but its tempo is often much faster and its style may range from playful to vehement or grotesque.
