Leitmotiv (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theme

'leitmotiv' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for theme that I've seen before include "Subject (on which person writes, speaks)" , "Thread, melody" , "basis for variations" , "Signature tune" , "Subject matter, topic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
