- The progression features a sequence of ii-V-I cadences descending in whole steps (Eb major, C major, Bb major), requiring rapid harmonic orientation.
- The transition through Fm7, Gm7, Am7, and Bbm7 creates a parallel minor-seventh “climb,” functioning as a chromatic or scalar bridge between tonal centers.
- It blends traditional functional harmony with modern modal shifts, using major-seventh resolutions to provide brief moments of stability amidst constant modulation.
Improvisation Focus Navigating rapid ii-V-I cycles via melodic cell transposition across multiple key centers.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The high tempo combined with relentless modulation between distantly related keys demands advanced technical facility and harmonic foresight.
