- Successive minor 7th chords moving in minor thirds (Em7 to Gm7) create a modal, floating quality that avoids immediate functional resolution.
- A secondary minor ii-V-i (Bm7b5 - E7#9 - Am7) introduces a temporary modulation to A minor, adding harmonic tension.
- The transition from F#m7b5 to Fm7 utilizes chromaticism to bridge the gap between the A minor sub-section and the C minor tonic.
- The B7#9 acts as an altered dominant turnaround, providing a high-tension V-i resolution back to the Cm7 home key.
Improvisation Focus Modal shifting between Dorian scales (E, G, and C) and the Altered scale on dominant chords.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The rapid modulation between distant tonal centers and the non-functional root movements demand advanced harmonic visualization and quick scale switching.
