Harmonic Highlights:
- Employs a standard ii-V-i progression in D minor (
Gm6, A7#9, Dm7) as a primary harmonic movement. - Features a chromatic passing dominant (
Db7) that sets up a ii-V-I modulation to Bb major (bVI of D minor). - Utilizes the
maj7#11chord (Bbmaj7#11), suggesting a Lydian quality within the bVI section. - Incorporates a temporary tonicization of A minor (v) via its V7 chord (
E7b13leading toAm7).
Improvisation Focus: Navigating the D Dorian mode as a foundation, while adapting to temporary modulations like Bb Lydian.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). Its slow tempo belies a complex harmonic progression with multiple temporary modulations and chromatic passing chords, requiring precise melodic contouring.
