What does minuet and trio form?

Minuet and trio form is a musical structure commonly used in the third movement of classical symphonies, string quartets, and other compositions. It consists of a minuet section (A) followed by a contrasting trio section (B), and then the minuet is repeated (A). The minuet is typically in a moderate triple meter, while the trio often features a lighter texture and different key. This form highlights the contrast between the two sections while maintaining a cohesive overall structure.
