Mozartian frivolity for a period romantic comedy. I set myself a limitation when I wrote this score that all the melodies could only (or mostly) move stepwise from the beginning to the end of a phrase. They could move up and down, but by nothing larger than a whole step. It was a useful exercise and it helped to confine the music to the style of the era.
