Harmonic Sequence: Two-chord Progressions

Not so in harmony.

You hear only one harmonic interval when you play the two-chord progression (harmonic sequence):

C – G
G – C

And when you play the harmonic sequence (chord progression):

C – G – C

you still hear only two chords. The second C chord is exactly the same chord as the first C chord. The octave in which you play these chords does not matter. The two chords are both still either C major or G major chords.

And yet, despite the single harmonic interval, there is an important distinction between these two harmonic sequences:

C – G
G – C
