Did Bach replace the minuet with trio and scherzo?

Bach did not replace the minuet with the trio and scherzo; rather, he incorporated the minuet and trio form in his compositions, particularly in his orchestral suites and keyboard works. The scherzo, which emerged later, became a popular alternative to the minuet in the Classical and Romantic periods, notably used by composers like Beethoven. While Bach's works laid the groundwork for future musical forms, the transition from minuet to scherzo occurred after his time.

Beethoven replaced the minuet and trio with a scherzo in the third movement of his symphonies, which was a departure from the traditional forms used by earlier composers. While Mozart and Haydn primarily used the minuet and trio, Beethoven's innovation in the scherzo provided a faster, more dynamic alternative. Thus, the correct answer is C: earlier classical composers, including Mozart and Haydn, typically employed the minuet and trio.
