In literature
The history of origin begins in the literature. Humoresque is a small work of art imbued with humorous, and sometimes satirical content. During the Renaissance, Western European humoresque in literature included popular urban genres:
In modern times, urban folklore adds notes of anecdote to it, which bears grotesque, extremely sharp features. For the first time in our country, humoresque appeared in the 17th century. She is gaining popularity in prose, poetry. Officials, representatives of the upper strata of society, the military, wealthy people are becoming typical objects of satirical ridicule. Usually nested semantic load is manifested in a comic description of scenes from life. Among the prose writers, humorous authors specialized in: Teffi, M. Zoshchenko, A.P. Chekhov, I.F. Gorbunov, A. Averchenko.

In the musical art
Humoresque is a small piece of music that is completely playful in nature or contains sections in a humorous manner. R. Schumann was the first in the musical art to use the name humoresque. In 1839, he applied the genre to his play, consisting of lyrical episodes where a joke and a dream are successfully combined.
Composers of the 19th century used humoresque to denote light playful plays that exist as a separate composition or in a series of works combined into one whole. In most cases, they were piano. Interpretation of E. Grieg looked different than that of Schumann. He believed that these were genre sketches reflecting the original features of folk music. In the works of A. Dvorak, on the contrary, the lyrical beginning was clearly manifested, and M. Reger - scherzos.
Humoresque in Russian music has noticeable scherz-dance features. From can be seen in P.I. Tchaikovsky (1872), S.V. Rachmaninov (1894). Among Soviet composers, this tradition continues: L. N. Revutsky, R. K. Shchedrin, O. V. Taktakishvili and others.
