Metamorphosis 2 is usually presented closed, in either form (first or last). The chord changes: - its direction; - its position in the series of fifths (1 FRAME away); - the swing to which it belongs; (2 fifths away - with the metamorphosed chord in interior positions); - the note which acts as Orbit 0 (the COMMON TONE); - Orbit 2 and Orbit 3 replace each other, - the note which was Orbit 2 becomes Orbit 3 and that which was Orbit 3 becomes Orbit 2.
-We have here the following chords: C6 - with a Substitution 1(3), followed by the MOTRIX A, in the Alto; G71 Dm65- Metamorphosis 2 - with a Substitution 1(0), in the Bass which removes both the G, Orbit 0 of G71 and the A, Orbit 0 of Dm65. Each of these two notes serves as Orbit 0 on one chord and as a Non-chordal Tone of Orbit 0 on the other. By having the chord Incomplete we avoid this incompatibility altogether. Am7 - with a Substitution 1(3), followed by the MOTRIX G, in the Soprano; Dm65 G71- Metamorphosis 2 - with a Substitution 1(0), in the Tenor. The chords of Rest (on the Beat), C6 and Am7, were first presented as Real Triads to differentiate them from each other.
