Henriette counts tangerine slices |
| Description: |
The music rises dramatically in an ascending sequence as Henriette and Raynald count tangerine slices (1 - 2 - 3 - 4); Henriette misses 6, 7, 8, and 9 since she is distracted by talking to the Duke; the camera zooms in on the Duke and the music swells up to a climax as he realizes that they will be alone together if she stays to take care of Raynald; after the climax the music calms down slowly, leading into Henriette's theme |

| Analysis: |
Rising chromatic sequences as they count, followed by a four-note melodic gesture that rises over an expanding wedge gesture (corresponding with the camera zoom) to a climax on a somewhat tense (01468) sonority as we see the Duke's expression; this resolves to a calm E major triad as Raynald appears to be feeling better |
