Italian for "obstinate" or "persistent". In music, the term
designates a musical idea (melodic, rhythmic, or both), which is persistently repeated throughout a section or an entire composition.
The repetition is successive and usually played in the same pitch. This technique has also been introduced in modern jazz.
