I agree with Mr Robison on this one--they did take life slower
back then, but dances were a rollicking good time--minuets are
not slow.  Neither are galliards, but you don't see many of them
in full orchestration.  On the other hand, the labelling of a
symphonic movement "Minuet" does not necessarily mean that it is
to be performed as if it were one.  It seems to me that "minuet"
became a generic term for an AABBA piece in 3/4.
