Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The inclusion of the scherzo movement in multi-movement compositions such as symphonies, sonatas, and chamber music can be almost exclusively attributed to one composer: Ludwig van Beethoven. After assimilating the existing scherzo form as it appeared in the music of Joseph Haydn (still labeled minuet except for the String Quartets. Opus 33) .
