Sequence of 2 Metamorphoses
The only possibility is 14 (41 being the same sequence starting on 4 rather than on
1).
The 41 sequence
If we start on the TONIC C6chord, which changes (with 4) to Am7,
the next would be Dm6which changes (with 1) to Dm7,
then G6which changes (with 4) to Em7,
then Am-6which changes (with 1) to Am7,
then Dm6which changes (with 4) to Bm7-5,
then Em-6which changes (with 1) to Em7,
then Am-6which changes (with 4) to F+7,
then Bm-6-5which changes (with 1) to Bm7-5,
then Em6which changes (with 4) to C+7,
then F6which changes (with 1) to F+7,
then Bm-6-5which changes (with 4) to G7,
then C6which changes (with 1) to C+7,
then F6which changes (with 4) to Dm7,
then G6which changes (with 1) to G7,
then C, chord of rest, producing a 15-chord sequence,
composed ofC6
Am7- Dm7/G6
Em7- Am7/Dm6
Bm7-5- Em7/Am-6
F+7- Bm7-5/
Em-6
C+7- F+7/Bm-6-5
G7- C+7/F6
Dm7- G7/C.
This circle progresses in sharpening fifths at each bar,
with a little "over-shooting" (with 4) at the beginning of each
bar.

Sequence of 3 Metamorphoses
There are 2 possibilities here - 144 and 114
(all other combinations being the result of starting elsewhere)
The 441 sequence
If we start on the TONIC C6, which changes (with 4) to Am7,
the next would be Dm6which changes (with 4) to Bm7-5,
then Em-6which changes (with 1) to Em7,
then Am-6, which changes (with 4) to F+7,
then Bm-6-5which changes (with 4) to G7,
then C6which changes (with 1) to C+7,
then F6which changes (with 4) to Dm7,
then G6which changes (with 4) to Em7,
then Am-6which changes (with 1) to Am7,
then Dm6, which changes (with 4) to Bm7-5,
then Em-6which changes (with 4) to C+7,
then F6which changes (with 1) to F+7,
then Bm-6-5, which changes (with 4) to G7,
then C6which changes (with 4) to Am7,
then Dm6which changes (with 1) to Dm7,
then G6, which changes (with 4) to Em7,
then Am-6which changes (with 4) to F+7,
then Bm-6-5which changes (with 1) to Bm7-5,
then Em-6, which changes (with 4) to C+7,
then F6which changes (with 4) to Dm7,
then G6which changes (with 1) to G7,
then C, chord of rest, producing a 22-chord sequence, composed of -
C6
Am7- Dm6Bm7-5- Em7/Am-6
F+7- Bm-6-5G7- C+7/
F6
Dm7- G6Em7- Am7/Dm6
Bm7-5- Em-6C+7- F+7/
Bm-6-5
G7- C6Am7- Dm7/G6
Em7- Am-6F+7- Bm7-5/Em-6
C+7- F6Dm7- G7/C,
a "circle", actually several, progressing by descending thirds (3 chrominic
notches) at each bar.

The 411 sequence
If we start on the TONIC C6, which changes (with 4) to Am7,
the next would be Dm6which changes (with 1) to Dm7,
then G6which changes (with 1) to G7,
a 3-chord "turn-around", composed of ((C6
Am7- Dm7- G7))
which can be repeated indefinitely,
followed by C, chord of rest.
This turn-around is usually presented with anopen Metamorphosis 4.

Sequence of 4 Metamorphoses
There are 3 possibilities here - 1444, 1114, and 1144
(all other combinations being the result of starting elsewhere).
The 4441 sequence
The 4111 sequence
The 4411 sequence
If we start on the C6TONIC chord, which changes (with 4) to Am7,
the next would be Dm6which changes (with 4) to Bm7-5,
then Em-6which changes (with 1) to Em7,
then Am-6which changes (with 1) to Am7,
then Dm6which changes (with 4) to Bm7-5,

then Em-6which changes (with 4) to C+7,
then F6which changes (with 4) to Dm7,
then G6which changes (with 1) to G7,
then C, chord of rest, producing a 12-chord sequence, composed of -
C6Am7- Dm6Bm7-5- Em7/ Am7- Dm6Bm7-5- Em-6C+7- F+7/ Bm7-5- Em-6C+7- F6Dm7- G7/ C
another kind of circle which progresses in a scale-like order every 4 chords.
