- Frequent use of non-functional parallel planing, specifically the oscillation between Gm7, Em11, and Fm7, which creates a shifting modal landscape.
- Integration of traditional minor ii-V progressions (Am7b5-D7b9 and Em7b5-A7) to anchor the piece within its D minor tonal center.
- Chromatic side-slipping via the Dm11 to Dbmaj7#11 movement, utilizing the bIImaj7 chord as a coloristic substitute for a functional dominant resolution.
Improvisation Focus D Dorian and D Melodic Minor, utilizing modal transposition to navigate the non-functional shifting minor sonorities.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The composition requires advanced modal fluency and the ability to maintain melodic continuity through frequent, non-diatonic parallel chord changes.
