A fugue starts with a distinct melody, and often other voices join in with the same melody at different times. This melody stays prevalent throughout the piece as the main theme that is repeated many times. A continuo is defined by a continuous, repetitive bass line that keeps the rhythm in a piece.

In a jazz ensemble, the bass player often plays a continuo, while the keyboardist keeps the chords and the singer (or other lead instrumentalist) produces the melody.
