Scherzo Di Notte: Difference between revisions

In musical terms, a {{w|scherzo}} is often referred to as a "joke." In playing a scherzo, the themes often resemble that of lighter, lively pieces that sometimes include dances. The Italian translation of "Scherzo Di Notte" is "Joke at Night" which seems both misleading and incorrect. Rather than mean the literal definition of "joke," it is instead better to refer to the "dance" or "lively" history of the term. Regardless of the interpretation of the name, the piece has both serious and light textures. The percussion parts, chords (as outlined by mid and lower voiced instruments) create the "heavier" and darker tone of the piece. However, simultaneously, are the upper voiced instruments- such as the violins, flute, oboe, and clarinet- playing shorter rhythmic features that suggest a livelier tone.
