this minuet is in e-flat, has two trios, and is slightly more poised than the first minuet.
it sounds harmonically very much like the first minuet, but in the second section of the minuet there is a bit of a halted moment, where everything stops for just a moment before resuming as normal.
first trio comes at 1:18; it is in a mellower a-flat major and the melody is given by the viola. the second section plays in the dominant, and there is even a brief development in the middle, featuring sustained diminished chords.
the second trio, at 3:06, is a bit more jolly and fun, with a venture into the relative minor in the middle which is more energetic. the violin gives an arpeggiating tune with a cool bit of rhythmic augmentation in the middle.
the last repetition of the minuet includes even more mozartean moments of ornamentation, along with a little coda.
