Metamorphoses= ((1 - 0 - 1 - 0))
Chord Symbols= ((C+7- F6- C6- G7)) C, seeMetamorphoses.
     We have here a wide Swing, from the COUNTER, F6, to the DOMINANT, G7,
          around themajorTONIC, C+7and C6,
               which could just as well be around theminorTONIC, Am-6and Am7.
Voice-leading= A - C - A - C,
     Voice-leading A between 2 chords of opposite direction, when the second chord has a Metamorphosis 0,
     Voice-leading C between 2 chords of the same direction, when the second chord has a Metamorphosis 1.
Performance Disposition=Primary Disposition between chords 1 and 2,
      Secondary Disposition between chords 3 and 4
          the entire canon in a medium (low) range, with
      Complete Harmony when the first chord is used but not the last, withChord Pattern M73
     CadentialEnding when the last chord is used but not the first, with Chord PatternM64.

     in the Tenor Voice - ((01-0-01-0))0,
     in the Bass Voice - ((10-3-2-1))1,
The Bass and Alto Voices are in contrary motion canon with each other,
     but the Soprano and Tenor Voices stand apart, each in contrary motion canon with itself,
          all canons at a 2-chord interval.

The same Metamorphoses, ((1 - 0 - 1 - 0)), Chord Symbols, ((C+7- F6- C6- G7)) C,
          Voice-leading, A - C - A - C, and Orbit Lines,
     with Soprano-Bass inversion and Alto-Tenor inversion.
Performance Disposition =Secondary Disposition between chords 1 and 2,
      Primary Disposition between chords 3 and 4,
          the entire canon in a high range,
     retaining the same possibilities ofComplete Harmony, withM73, and CadentialEnding, withM64.
The Soprano and Tenor Voices are now in canon with each other,
     and the Bass and Alto Voices stand apart.

     We have here a Circle produced by the 2 Metamorphoses 1 at the beginning of each complete bar,
