| Info: The minuet was slightly old-fashioned by Mozart's time. It was of aristocratic origin, elegant and stately. Mozart also wrote a great number of minuets intended for listening rather than dancing: they occur in his symphonies, string quartets, and many other works. These minuets are usually longer, faster in tempo. | |
