Editing Minuet (section)

==== Minuet and trio ====
Around the time of [[Jean-Baptiste Lully]], it became a common practice to score this middle section for a [[trio (music)|trio]] (such as two [[oboe]]s and a [[bassoon]], as is common in Lully). As a result, this middle section came to be called the minuet's ''trio'', even when no trace of such an orchestration remains.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Minuet |url=http://clickdavao.com/encyclopedia/view_content.php?contentid=Minuet&title=Dance |access-date=2023-03-15 |website=clickdavao.com}}</ref> The overall structure is called rounded binary or [[Binary form#Simple vs. rounded|minuet form]]:{{sfn|Rosen|1988|loc=29}}

After these developments by Lully, composers occasionally inserted a modified repetition of the first (A) section or a section that contrasted with both the A section and what was thereby rendered the third or C section, yielding the form A–A′–B–A or A–B–C–A, respectively; an example of the latter is the third movement of Mozart's Serenade No. 13 in G major, [[Köchel catalogue|K.]] 525, popularly known under the title ''[[Eine kleine Nachtmusik]]''.

A livelier form of the minuet simultaneously developed into the [[scherzo]] (which was generally also coupled with a trio). This term came into existence approximately from [[Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]] onwards, but the form itself can be traced back to [[Joseph Haydn|Haydn]].

The '''minuet and trio''' eventually became the standard third movement in the four-movement [[classical music era|classical]] [[symphony]], [[Johann Stamitz]] being the first to employ it thus with regularity.{{sfn|Langford|2019|loc={{Page needed|date=April 2020}}}}

An example of the true form of the minuet is to be found in ''[[Don Giovanni]]''.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}

A famous example of a more recent instrumental work in minuet form is [[Ignacy Jan Paderewski]]'s [[Minuet in G (Paderewski)|Minuet in G]].
