Harmonic Highlights:

  • Prominent use of the ii-V-I progression (Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7) as a foundational harmonic device.
  • Tonicization of the subdominant (Ab) through a ii-V progression (Bbm7-Eb7-Ab6).
  • The F7 chord functions as a secondary dominant (V7/ii), creating tension before the ii minor chord.
  • Inclusion of the B7 chord introduces significant chromaticism, likely functioning as a tritone substitute or a distant chromatic dominant.

Improvisation Focus: Fluent application of arpeggios and scales over ii-V-I progressions and tonicizations.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The rapid modulations, secondary dominants, and significant chromaticism require a sophisticated harmonic understanding.
