Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent tonicizations and modulations via strong ii-V-I progressions (e.g., Dm7-G7-Cmaj7, Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7).
  • Chromatic modulations, like the abrupt shift from Am7 to the ii-V-I of B major (C#m7-F#7#9-Bmaj7).
  • Extensive use of altered dominant chords (e.g., F#7#9, A7b9#5, B7b9) to build tension and propel harmonic movement.
  • Rapid key center shifts, exemplified by the swift succession of ii-V-I in Eb major (Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7) followed by ii-V to Db major (Ebm7-Ab7).

Improvisation Focus: Navigating ii-V-I progressions across multiple, often chromatically related, key centers.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The rapid, often non-diatonic modulations and prevalent altered dominant chords demand sophisticated harmonic awareness.
