Harmonic Highlights:
- Features a classic minor line cliché (Am, Am/maj7/G#, Am7/G, Am6/F#), creating a descending chromatic bass movement over the tonic minor.
- Incorporates the distinctive Fm6 chord following Cmaj7, a common Broadway-era coloristic substitution or minor iv in the relative major.
- Employs a clear ii-V-i resolution (Bm7b5, E7b9, Am) to firmly re-establish the A minor tonic after excursions to the relative major.
Improvisation Focus: A Harmonic Minor scale (and its related modes) to navigate the minor ii-V-i and the dominant b9 tensions.
Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The interplay between A minor and C major, along with the minor line cliché and the Fm6 substitution, requires a solid understanding of both minor and relative major harmony beyond basic major scales.
