- Employs ii-V cells (Bbm7-Eb7) that function as secondary dominants to the subdominant, but often resolve deceptively to the iii (Cm7) or vi (Fm7) to create delayed resolution.
- Features a prominent modulation to C Major via a ii-V-I sequence (Dm7-G7-Cmaj7), shifting the tonal center a major sixth away from the Eb tonic.
- Utilizes cyclical fourths and parallel minor ii-Vs to smoothly transition between the primary key and temporary tonal centers.
Improvisation Focus Navigating key center shifts through voice leading, specifically managing the transition between the Eb Major and C Major landscapes.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; while the tempo is relaxed, the frequent modulations and non-diatonic ii-V sequences require sophisticated harmonic navigation and melodic continuity.
