Harmonic Highlights

  • Prominent application of ii-V-I progressions (e.g., Fm7-Bb7 to Eb, Gm7-C7 to F) as a core structural element.
  • Strategic use of secondary dominants (e.g., G7 targeting C minor, C7 targeting F major) to generate temporary tonicizations.
  • The Eø7 chord functions as a chromatic passing sonority or a tritone substitution, creating distinct harmonic color.
  • The Bb/F chord serves as a V7sus4 substitute or provides a Lydian color over the dominant, enriching the harmony.
