Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks ends with two of these pieces. Americans in the 1910s and 1920s turned out in droves to hear Ignace Paderewski play one of these pieces for piano he composed in G. In his symphonies, Beethoven replaced the traditional movement consisting of this piece with a scherzo. In the classical era, the third movement of symphonies usually consisted of one of these pieces along with a (*) trio. An iconic example of these pieces is the third movement of Luigi Boccherini's Opus eleven string quartet in E, although a more famous one may be a simple one for harpsichord composed by J.S. Bach "in G." For 10 points, name this French courtly dance in three-four time, which was hugely popular in the second half of the eighteenth century.
