une cellule/un leitmotif simple composé(e) de quatre notes (tons) Explanation: *First answer here, please be kind :)* If it has to do with an opera, you could even use the word leitmotif, which would even be more accurate (depending on context and target audience, too).

Maybe it would not be the best match, culturally speaking. Hope this was helpful. Example sentence(s):
