- Employs a chromatic descending bassline ($i$ - $i/bVII$ - $vi^{\varnothing}7$ - $bVI7$) creating strong linear motion toward the dominant.
- Features significant modal interchange, shifting between parallel F minor and F major tonalities to create structural tension and release.
- Utilizes $Db7$ as a tritone substitute ($subV7/V$) to facilitate a smooth chromatic resolution to the $V7$ or tonic.
- Harmonic rhythm is heavily syncopated, mirroring the melody’s rhythmic displacement across the bar lines.
Improvisation Focus F Melodic Minor and the F Blues scale to bridge the parallel minor-to-major transitions.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate): The rapid harmonic rhythm and constant shifts between parallel keys require precise navigation of modal changes and syncopated phrasing.
