Harmonic Highlights

  • Frequent use of V/vi (G/B resolving to Cm) strongly targets the minor sixth chord, creating temporary tonal centers.
  • The Eb7 chord functions as a V7/IV (V7/Ab), but sometimes resolves deceptively back to Cm, adding unexpected twists.
  • Chromatic passing diminished chords, like F#07 leading to Eb/G, provide sophisticated embellishment and harmonic color.

Improvisation Focus Voice leading through secondary dominants and chromatic embellishments.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The blend of diatonicism with frequent secondary dominants, deceptive resolutions, and chromatic passing chords requires sophisticated navigation.
