Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- Employs a sequential series of ii-V-I progressions that modulate upward by major thirds (Ab to C to E), reflecting a tertiary relationship between key centers.
- Utilizes a tonicization of the IV chord (Abmaj7) via a secondary ii-V (Bbm7-Eb7) to establish a lush, romantic harmonic foundation.
- Features a consistent harmonic rhythm where each tonal center is established over four bars, allowing for clear but rapid transitions between distantly related keys.
Improvisation Focus Voice leading through sequential ii-V-I transitions across distal major keys.
Difficulty Rating 3/5 – The steady harmonic rhythm is manageable, but the frequent modulations into three distinct key centers require advanced proficiency in transposition and guide-tone navigation.
