Best Answer

scherzo is a term in italic(like many other muscial terms) meaning funny, joyful, light and the like. Generally it was a piece written in 3/4, with fast tempo, light character, resembling a dance. You will ofter find it as a 3rd movement in sonatas (beethovens sonatas ar a good example).

Trio as a form is the contrasting piece following a scherzo (it can also be a trio of instruments, but probably this isn't what you mean). The way contrast is achieved is not standard-it can be through a change of key, a change of feeling(from joyful to something darker for example), change of rythm etc.
