Minuet in the Classical period. A minuet (/ ˌ m ɪ nj u ˈ ɛ t /; also spelled menuet) is a social dance of French origin for two people, usually written in 3 4 time but always played as if in 6 8 (compound duple metre) to reflect the step pattern of the dance. The English word was adapted from the Italian minuetto and the French menuet.
Simple meters are those whose upper number is 2, 3, or 4, sometimes described as duple meter, triple meter, and quadruple meter respectively. In compound meter , the note values specified by the bottom number are grouped into threes, and the upper number is a multiple of 3, such as 6, 9, or 12.
4 followed by a measure of 2 4, or the opposite: 2 4 then 3 4. Higher metres which are divisible by 2 or 3 are considered equivalent to groupings of duple or triple metre measures; thus, 6 4, for example, is rarely used because it is considered equivalent to two measures of 3 4. See: hypermetre and additive rhythm and divisive rhythm.
