Scherzo in F-sharp minor (Shostakovich)

Scherzo in F-sharp minor (Op. 1) is a piece for orchestra written by Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975). Shostakovich was a Russian composer and pianist during the Soviet era. It was most likely written in 1921 or 1922 while Shostakovich was studying at the Petrograd Conservatory under Maximilian Steinberg. The composition is one of the composer's earliest surviving works. Originally written as a single movement of a piano sonata, the Scherzo was later orchestrated with assistance from Steinberg and became an orchestral work in its own right.

The British premiere of the composition was played by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mark Elder in 1996. It consists of a scherzo section, a trio, and a retransition which leads back to the scherzo theme. The piece has been described as aligning with the Rimsky-Korsakov school. A theme from the Scherzo in F-sharp minor was used by Shostakovich in the 'Clockwork Doll' movement from his collection of piano pieces, Children's Notebook (Op. 69 No. 6).
