Leitmotiv (leading motive). A term (often misspelt
leitmotif) first used
c.1865 by A. W. Ambros in article about Wagner operas and Liszt sym.-poems. ‘Representative theme’ is a good Eng. alternative. Composers throughout history have used the device in one form or another, e.g. Gluck and Mozart, Weber in
Der Freischütz, Mendelssohn, Berlioz (the
idée fixe in the
Symphonie Fantastique), but it was raised to its highest and most complex form by Wagner, especially in
Der Ring des Nibelungen, where the subtle combinations of
leitmotiv create symphonic textures.
