Harmonic Highlights

  • Utilizes a minor ii-V (Em7b5 - A7b9) to target D7, functioning as a secondary dominant (VI7) that initiates a strong cycle of fifths.
  • Employs an extended circle-of-fifths chain (VI7 - II7 - V7 - I) to create harmonic momentum back toward the tonic.
  • Integrates standard I-vi-ii-V turnarounds (Fmaj7 - Dm7 - Gm7 - C7) to anchor the F major tonality amidst chromatic shifts.

Improvisation Focus Voice-leading through guide tones (3rds and 7ths) to highlight the resolution of secondary dominants.

Difficulty Rating 3/5; the ballad tempo provides space for melodic development, but the frequent non-diatonic chord changes require a sophisticated understanding of bebop resolutions.
