Schneider, J. G
Composer, organist; Germany. B. 1789; d. 1864. SCHOTTISCHE minuet. Haydn first changed the character of the minuet, while still retaining its name, by giving it a light, playful character and more rapid tempo. Beethoven discarded the name and adopted that of Scherzo, and still further increased the rapidity of the movement; all that he retained of the minuet was the time. Many composers since Beethoven have made still further departures, Scherzi being now written in and time.
