Harmonic Highlights:
- Features secondary dominants (A7b9) and a ii-V progression (Dm9-G7b9) that ultimately resolves to the minor tonic (Am).
- Utilizes a descending minor line cliché with chromatic bass movement (Am - Am/G - D7/F#).
- Presents a distinctive, repetitive oscillation between Emaj7 (V chord of Am) and F9, creating a prolonged, colorfully altered dominant section.
- Incorporates non-diatonic chords like Fm6, adding richer minor key texture.
Improvisation Focus: Resolving altered dominant tensions within the minor key framework.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - Requires strong command of altered dominant scales and navigating complex non-diatonic harmonic shifts in a minor context.
