Leni and Gerald run through the park |
| Description: |
Fast, frolicky piece in 6/8 with bright, upbeat orchestration; dancelike, with an arpeggiated "wagon wheel" accompaniment; this joyful sounding cue turns into a chromatic falling gesture when one of the ladies at a picnic gossips about Leni's attempted suicide; the last four bars are cut from film but are included in the transcription |

| Analysis: |
The cue begins with music over a stable tonic pedal in Bb, which shifts to music over a dominant pedal in D major; a passage of descending parallel diminished 7ths begins precisely as the women start gossiping about Leni |
