This Minuet and Trio will be analyzed by dividing it into its constituent sections. Measures 1-4 and 15-18 are designated as A. Measures 5-10 and 19-24 are designated as B, and measures 11-14 and 25-32 are designated as C.

Conversely, for the Trio, measures 33-38 and 49-54 are designated as A, measures 39-44 and 55-60 as B, and measures 45-49 as C.

While this is purely the author's subjective interpretation, this Minuet and Trio, much like the second movement of this sonata, evokes a sense of dramatic elements. Let us assign distinct characters or varying atmospheres to each of the A, B, and C sections, envisioning operatic scenes and vaguely conceiving a narrative.

Fundamentally, as an optimistic scene, a coquettish female character might be fitting. Although the Trio section is in a minor key (B minor), the section itself does not possess significant gravity. Nevertheless, a clear contrast with the Minuet should be established.
