Mozartian frivolity for a period romantic comedy. To get out my usual habits, I limited myself to write melodies that only (or mostly) moved stepwise from the beginning to the end of a phrase. They could move up and down by nothing more than a whole step. It was a useful exercise that gave the score unity and a somewhat period flavor.
