Reflect upon the quotation below and explain what it means and how you can relate this saying with the importance of learning about history.

"That noise or sound which musicians make while they are tuning their instruments, is nothing pleasant
to hear, but yet is a cause why the music is sweeter afterwards."
- Francis Bacon

When you practice or learn something it's not all that pleasant or in that case ’sweet-sounding’ BUT in the end, it pays off and you can make something perfect and wonderful. And you may become more satisfied with knowing how to do it then why you learned how to do it.

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
