minuet
a slow French dance in triple meter
A dance in a moderate triple time. It has a light texture. Some have a cross-rhythm or hemiola which makes two bars of 3/4 sound like one bar of 3/2 (as in courante). Unlike other dances in the suite, it is often in ternary form. The only Baroque dance form survived into the late symphony of the Classical era as minuet and trio.
