this minuet is cool because of the opening hemiola effected by the accompanying chords.
standard a-b-a minuet. we're now back in e-flat major, but the opening section gives us a taste of c minor (relative), and cadences in b-flat. second section, beginning at 1:00 and returning quickly to the opening material to round off in e-flat after a cool bit of extended playing on the main material.
2:40 trio, takes us very quickly in and out of b-flat major. the second section of the trio features some interesting "echoes" from the viola and cello, and an elided cadence at around 3:30 allows the viola to come up and take the violin's role out of nowhere.
recap at 4:33, the rest is history.
