Mozart Debussy Brahms Wagner composer from the nineteenth century created the notion of character-specific musical themes (leitmotifs)
A leitmotif or leitmotiv is a "short, recurring melodic phrase" that is connected to a specific person, place, or idea. It has a lot in common with the musical ideas of motto-theme and idée fixe. The word "leitmotif" is an anglicization of the German word "leitmotiv," which means "leading theme" or "guide motif" in English. A musical motif is referred to as the smallest structural unit with thematic identity. It can be described as a "short musical idea... melodic, harmonic, or rhythmic, or all three", a prominent recurring figure, musical fragment, or succession of notes that has some special significance in or is characteristic of a composition.
