  • Harmonic Highlights:

    • Prominent use of a descending cycle of fifths progression (e.g., D7-G7-C7-F7-Bb) employing multiple secondary dominants.
    • The Db07 chord acts as a chromatic passing or substitute diminished leading effectively to Cm7 (ii chord).
    • Features a brief, explicit tonicization of D major via A7-D before quickly returning to the home key of Bb.
  • Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian mode application over the numerous dominant 7th chords.

  • Difficulty Rating: 4 (Intermediate-Advanced). Requires proficiency in navigating frequent secondary dominants, chromatic alterations, and temporary tonicizations beyond simple diatonic harmony.
