Harmonic Highlights

  • Prominent bVIImaj7-i minor resolution (Ebmaj7 to Fm7) sets an early Dorian/natural minor color.
  • Frequent use of viiø7/i (Eø7 to Fm7) strongly reinforces the F minor tonic.
  • Successive dominant 7th chords (Bb7, Eb7) create clear V7-I movement to bVII (Ebmaj7) and bIII (Abmaj7), adding harmonic interest through temporary tonicization.

Improvisation Focus F Dorian scale.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced). The progression requires navigating frequent chord changes, secondary dominants, and temporary modulations within a minor key framework.
