  • Repeated ii-V in C major: The opening Dm7-G7 sequences strongly imply a C major tonicization, further solidified by the arrival on C6.
  • Direct Modulation via Tritone Substitution: The Ebm7-Ab7 progression presents a clear ii-V in Db major, showcasing a chromatic half-step modulation or a tritone substitution for G7.
  • Flexible V7 function: The G7 chord functions variously as V7/iv in D minor and as the dominant in ii-V-I progressions resolving to C major.
  • Minor ii-V: The Em7-Am7 phrase distinctly outlines a ii-V progression in the target key of D minor.

Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale theory application across changing tonal centers.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The frequent modulations and tritone substitutions require a strong understanding of navigating temporary key centers.
