- Harmonic Highlights:
- Prolonged use of non-resolving altered dominant cycles (
X7#5#9 -> Y7#9) descending a perfect fourth, creating continuous tension. - Consistent application of #5#9 alterations on dominant chords, lending a distinct, “outside” harmonic flavor.
- Dramatic chromatic modulation as entire dominant cycles shift up a semitone (Bb/Eb to B/E), adding a jarring yet effective movement.
- Resolution to Amaj7 (bIImaj7 relative to G# minor), establishing a temporary tonic with a Neapolitan flavor after extensive dominant exploration.
- Improvisation Focus: Altered Scale (Super Locrian)
- Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) – The numerous altered dominants, non-standard progressions, and chromatic shifts demand sophisticated harmonic understanding and execution.
