Minuet

A minuet is a elegant, moderate-paced dance that originated in the Baroque period, often used as a musical form in classical compositions. It features a gentle, triple-meter rhythm (like a waltz) and typically involves structured, graceful movements or musical phrases arranged in a repeating pattern. In music, a minuet often appears as one of the movements in larger works like symphonies or sonatas, showcasing refined balance and form. Overall, it embodies sophistication and restraint, emphasizing measured, flowing motion or melody.
