 The second movement is written based on the rhyme scheme of a Malaysian poetic form called 'Pantun'. Ravel was greatly influenced by Southeast Asian, Chinese, and Japanese cultures at the 1889 Paris Exposition, and traces of this influence can be observed in this movement.

A significant feature of this scherzo movement is the differing time signatures among parts in the central trio section. (Example 4 / Piano in 2/4 time, strings in 3/4 time)

The piano's incessant, virtuosic passages create the brilliance of the second movement.

(Example 4 / Second movement, Rehearsal Number 10)
