Best Answer

A minuet, is a social dance of French origin for two persons, usually in 3/4 time. The word was adapted, from Italian minuetto, and French menuet, meaning small, pretty, delicate, a diminutive of menu, from the Latin minutus; menuetto is a word that occurs only on musical scores. The word refers probably to the short steps, pas menus, taken in the dance. At the period when it was most fashionable it was slow, ceremonious, and graceful.

Any classical music is suited to cello. Popular music is probably better for a guitar or a piano, but anything by Brahms, Bach, or Mozart will sound lovely on cello. I like Minuets and Etudes, but I have been playing for a while.
