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.
minuet proper
Trio is a passage in the middle of a minuet, frequently in a different key.
If the composer has not indicated a specific tempo, the trio would generally be played at a similar tempo to the minuet.

Trio is a passage in the middle of a minuet, frequently in a different key.
Ternary form is a musical structure that consists of three sections: A-B-A. A well-known example is "Minuet and Trio" from classical symphonies, such as Beethoven's Symphony No. 1, where the Minuet serves as the A section, the Trio as the B section, and the Minuet returns to conclude the piece. This structure creates contrast and balance within the composition.
If the composer has not indicated a specific tempo, the trio would generally be played at a similar tempo to the minuet.

Theme and variation was an entire form of classical music, consisting of its own movements.
It is typically four movements. The first is fast and in sonata form The second is slow The third is a scherzo or minuet in trio form The fourth is fast and in sonata or rondo form
The third movement was often a minuet and trio, or a rondo, or other dance form.
Usually it was a minuet (from French "menuet"; in Italian "minuetto"), but sometimes other, normally a dance or a short sequence of dances, before the fourth (finale), that was commonly an allegro, as the first was as well.
