A leitmotif is a recurring musical theme systematically associated with a particular person, idea, emotion, or situation within a composition. Parameters: (1) mechanism — a short musical motif that reappears in varied form throughout a work, each recurrence adapting to the dramatic context while preserving its core identity; (2) persistence — codified through operatic and film-scoring tradition, taught in music theory, and sustained by the practice of thematic composition.

Mechanism described (short musical motif in varied forms). Trailer present. The definition is specific enough to distinguish from generic musical repetition.
