The Scherzo No. 4, Op. 54, in E major by Frédéric Chopin was composed in 1842 in Nohant.

The scherzo was published in 1843. Unlike the preceding three scherzi (Op. 20, Op. 31, Op. 39), the E-major is generally calmer in temperament, though it still possesses some exceptionally passionate and dramatic moments. The scherzo is in sonata rondo form, moving to a trio in C-sharp minor that is based on a Polish folk song. It is the only one of Chopin's four scherzos primarily in a major key.
