Köhler’s Op. 163, No. 3 places a flowing scale melody in the bass beneath sustained upper harmonies.

Measures 1–8 alternate rising and falling lower scales with brief pauses. The upper part changes from held intervals to short, detached chordal replies whenever the bass comes to rest.

Measures 9–16 shorten the exchanges, introduce a chromatic change, and extend the lower line into a final descending sweep. The bass supplies the last note after the upper harmony has finished.

Interesting fact: The upper chords act like punctuation: their detached responses repeatedly fill the spaces left by the lower scale melody.
