A Level Composition, Minuet and Trio Options

[x-music-fairy-x]

Ok so having a bit of a confusion over the structure and stylistic features.

I thought the structure was for a Minuet and Trio was:

Minuet A B A
Trio A B A
Minuet A1 B1 A1

Is this correct? My teacher wants me to do:

Minuet A B A1
Trio A B C(mixture of A and B)
Minuet A1 B1 A1


Also stylistic features of a trio?

All I know is Ornamentation and Triplets. Also does the Trio have to contain features of the minuet or is it completely self contained?

Thanks for helping x

I would agree, the form af a Minuet & Trio as a whole is ternary, (A - B - A, where the Minuet is A, the Trio is B) , but each section within that overall structure is often basically Binary.
