- Frequent use of altered dominants ($C7\flat5\sharp9$ and $F7\flat5\sharp9$) to create high-tension resolutions into the minor tonic and subdominant.
- Sequential ii-V-I modulations descending by minor thirds ($Cmaj7$, $Bmaj7$, $Bbmaj7$), requiring rapid adaptation to distant tonal centers.
- Strategic use of $F7$ as a secondary dominant pivot to transition from the $F$ minor tonic to the $B\flat$ minor subdominant area.
Improvisation Focus Navigating rapid, non-diatonic ii-V-I sequences at high tempos.
Difficulty Rating 5/5: The combination of extreme “up” tempos and constant modulation through distal key centers requires advanced harmonic fluency and technical facility.
