Harmonic Highlights

  • Establishes a clear D major tonality through repeated Dmaj7 and standard I-ii-I progressions.
  • Features a sophisticated B minor progression (Bm, Bm/maj7, Bm7, Bm6) showcasing a descending inner voice over a sustained root.
  • The Bm/maj7 chord introduces a momentary minor-major sonority, creating a unique, contemplative tension within the D major context.

Improvisation Focus Melodic minor scale concepts, particularly for navigating the B minor progression’s unique sonorities.

Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate) - While the Dmaj7 and Em7 sections are straightforward, the specific voice-leading and altered chord quality of the Bm progression demand nuanced harmonic understanding.
