Question

This genre provides an alternate name for rounded binary, or ABA, form. A commonly excerpted movement in this genre begins with the pickup sixteenth notes [read slowly] “A, G-sharp, A, (10[1])B” followed by “A, (-5[1])down to a syncopated A one octave lower” (10[1])over pizzicato strings. (-5[1])Johann Stamitz (10[2])pioneered adding a movement named for this genre before a fast finale. A long-misattributed piece in this genre by Christian Petzold was popularized by Anna Magdalena Bach’s notebooks. This genre made up the first part of a widely-used form for third movements before the advent of the scherzo (10[1])(“SKAIRT-so”). The galanterie (-5[1])of a Baroque dance suite is often a bourrée (“boo-RAY”), gavotte, or this dance. A “celebrated” one of these pieces appears in an E major string quintet by Luigi Boccherini (“bo-care-REE-nee”). For 10 points, Classical-era pieces often pair a “trio” with what French court dance? ■END■ (10[1]0[4])

ANSWER: minuet [or menuet or minuetto; accept minuet and trio; accept Minuet in G major; prompt on string quintet by asking “what is the genre of that specific movement?”]
