rhythmic figure

Within the context of film music, Claudia Gorbman defines an obstinate as a repeated melodic or rhythmic figure that propels scenes that lack dynamic visual action.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostinato

The first movement of the Second Symphony begins, like the other three, with a rhythmic ostinato, this one loaded with C minor foreboding. Another prominent feature of the Lento introduction, following eerie bell sounds, is a heavily emphasised rhythmic figure – just two notes with a tiny rest between them – which is to motivate much of what follows.

Il primo movimento della Seconda Sinfonia inizia, come i successivi tre, con un ritmo ostinato, carico di un profetico do minore. Altro elemento evidente del Lento introduttivo, dopo i rintocchi misteriosi delle campane, è la figurazione ritmica molto
enfatizzata – due semplici note inframezzate da una piccola pausa – che sembra determinare quasi tutto quel che segue.
