scherzando \skert-SAHN-doh, adjective:

Playful; sportive.

A short coda recalls the scherzando music, and the piece concludes with the jazzy harmony.
— Howard Pollack, John Alden Carpenter
A recapitulation satisfies the sonata principle by partially transposing both of the episodes to the tonic, and to cap off the movement with a tour de force Weber combines the last statement of the refrain with the scherzando theme.
— R. Larry Todd, Nineteenth-Century Piano Music

Scherzando comes from the Italian word scherzare meaning “to joke.” It entered English in the early 1800s.
