- Static tonic prolongation on F6 utilizes Faug as a chromatic passing tone, creating a rising inner voice (C-C#) that targets the D in the subsequent Dm or F6/D.
- The G7 chord acts as a secondary dominant (V/V), a hallmark of the era that provides a strong pull toward the dominant C7.
- Diatonic movement from F to Dm establishes a clear I–vi relationship, grounding the melody before the secondary dominant introduces chromaticism.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale (incorporating the C# augmented fifth) to navigate the tonic-to-augmented transitions smoothly.
Difficulty Rating 2: The slow harmonic rhythm and predominantly diatonic structure make it very accessible for intermediate players.
