The form is known as minuet and trio. Originally the a-section minuet was repeated, followed by the b-section which was a trio for three instruments, played and repeated, followed by a return of the a-section minuet. Over a relatively short time, the intervening trio was augmented and became simply a contrasting section to the minuet.
