The famous mail van announces its presence with a sound that dates back to 1924. The choice was made for a three-tone motif from Rossini’s Wilhelm Tell overture.

3音からなる[の]モチーフ
Explanation:
3音からなるモチーフ or 3音のモチーフ
Considering the context, I presume that the three-note motive is the trumpet fanfare played in the last three minutes of the overture. It is widely known as the opening theme of "オレたちひょうきん族" (Ore-tachi hyookin-zoku) that was aired in the 1980's.

Sibelius repeats the various phrases of the scherzo. A rising three-tone motif (now G flat - A flat - B flat) builds a highly effective bridge to connect the scherzo with the finale.

disagree  Can Altinbay: No, because that would be a 3-chord motif.

Explanation:
All but the prelude has often been used in commercials and animated cartoons: Storm for ships at sea and other tumultuous scenes; Ranz des vaches for any sunrise or waking-up scene, especially on a farm; and the finale for any scene involving galloping, examples being the Warner Brothers cartoons Wabbit Twouble and Yankee Doodle Daffy.

<<Portions of the finale were used for many years as a TV and radio jingle by Pizza Hut in Sydney and Brisbane, Australia.>>
