Under the title, "Précision dans les nuances et dans les rythmes" ("Precision in nuances and rhythms") is stated as the challenge for this piece. It is an unusual minuet, written with crisp rhythms, which at first glance does not sound like a triple meter. The dotted rhythms should be played clearly and precisely, with the dynamism characteristic of a dance. Accented quarter notes should not be shortened; their length should be firmly sustained, and it would be good to play them with a brilliant tone, like that of a brass instrument. It is also good to imagine the sound of trumpets in a Baroque court. In contrast to this majestic and brilliant motif, the hemiola (duple meter) in measures 6-7 and the subsequent chromatic melody have a humorous and ironic atmosphere, and I believe this imbalance contributes to the interest of this minuet.
