Answer: The meter signature is 3/4, and the meter type is simple triple.

Explanation: Bach, minuet II from cello suite no 1 is a piece that has a meter signature (or time signature) of 3/4. The meter signature's top nunber defines how many beats there are per measure. The piece also has a simple triple meter type. A meter type describes how a beat is divided into smaller groups. In a simple triple meter the majority of the beats are divided into eight notes (half a beat). There are three beats per measure and each beat is a quarter note.
