Maybe "minuet" is a little like "foxtrot".  There are a lot of swing
records from the 40s that are marked "foxtrot" even though they are
much too fast to foxtrot to, presumably because the record manufacturers
either didn't know what they really had or didn't want to scare people
off with a "swing" label.
