Romanian term or phrase: salt
Ecouri ale peisajului armonic se răsfrâng asupra melodicii în liniile mai contorsionate sau mai calme utilizate. Apar astfel momente de dificultate tehnică, game, arpegii, trilluri, salturi neaşteptate sau mai puţin uzitate în repertoriul pentru fagot.

English translation:skip/leap
Explanation:
Unii spun ca leap si skip ar fi sinonime:

In music, a step, or conjunct motion,[1] is the difference in pitch between two consecutive notes of a musical scale. In other words, it is the interval between two consecutive scale degrees. Any larger interval is called a skip (also called a leap), or disjunct motion.
V. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steps_and_skips

Altii spun ca ”skip” e mai mare decat un ”step”, dar mai mare decat un ”leap”:

Eu am intalnit si ”jump”, dar as spune ca e mai putin academic. Iata:
Lastly, add perfect octaves to a melody. These are extremely consonant. However, this big intervallic jump (up eight steps) can add excitement to any piece, without the jarring effects of the major seventh jump.

agree  Mircea Pauca: "Leap" in sensul de aici, de interval mai mare. Skip e mai mult asociat cu intervalul de terță (se sare peste 1 nume de notă).
