Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent use of tritone substitutions, notably Ab7 following D7 and Gb7 serving as a sub for C7.
  • Rapid, sequential modulations through various dominant cycles, including V-I movements to C minor and Eb major.
  • Prominent altered dominant chords (D7b9, G7b9) within minor ii-V-i progressions (Am7b5-D7b9 to G minor, Dm7b5-G7b9 to C minor).
  • Extensive chromaticism driven by non-diatonic dominant seventh chords (G7, C7, F7, Eb7), challenging the primary G minor key center.

Improvisation Focus: Application of altered and Lydian dominant scales over complex dominant structures.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). Requires a sophisticated understanding of advanced harmonic concepts like tritone substitution, altered dominants, and rapid modulations.
