Minuet was one of the popular dances in the court during 17th century. It became one of the multi-movement instrumental music during 18th century. In Beethoven¡¦s multi-movement instrumental music, minuet movement was replaced by scherzo in quite early stage. There are 10 movements in Beethoven¡¦s piano sonatas; those are minuet or music with minuet material. In this thesis, the historical background of minuet is introduced first; in addition the step and the music function are also mentioned. In the 2nd section, the innovation of Beethoven and the characteristic style in these minuet will be discussed; moreover, the minuet movements of Beethoven¡¦s piano sonatas will be divided into three types: (1). The title of the movements is minuet; (2). The tempo mark of the movements is minuet; (3). The style of the movements is between minuet and scherzo. Finally, the conclusion will be given. Beethoven composed minuets rarely after his piano sonata op. 54. From analyzing the music, it should be clear to show the reason why Beethoven yielded his direction from minuet to scherzo.
