Technique
24 Unique Bars. 10 Bars with barre Chords. AABB. Play 
Part A
twice followed by Part B Twice.
Minuet starts off slow with a mournful tone. Part 2 
becomes
faster with more notes hence more challenging.
Bar[15]. 3 Barre Chords delivered swiftly.

Parts that took me some time...

Bar[13]-[15] Hold Barre Chord for 2 full measures while
playing the melody.
Bar[15] Trio of Barre Chords to be delivered swiftly.
Bar[17]and [19] Quick delivery of notes. Keep in time 
and
make sure notes are heard!

closure.
