This example I added a long time ago, but doesn't really fit this trope:
- In the scene transitions to and from the caves of Nibelheim in Das Rheingold, the orchestra dies away to allow 18 anvils banging away in rhythm to be heard.
I looked up the definition for ostinato, and it appears to be completely unrelated to this trope. Can anyone confirm or deny?
