Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features a recurring minor iiø7-V7b9-i cadence (Gm7b5-C7b9-Fm7) anchoring the F minor tonality.
  • Showcases extensive dominant 7th chord cycles (e.g., Bb7-Eb7-Ab7-Db7), creating propulsive, shifting harmonic landscapes.
  • Includes clear modulations to Bb major (Cm7-F7b9-Bbmaj7) and Db major (Ebm7-Ab7-Dbmaj7), significantly expanding the tonal centers.
  • Incorporates tritone substitutions (e.g., B7 for F7, Db7 for G7) to color dominant resolutions and create unexpected harmonic movement.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered dominant 7th scales and arpeggios amidst frequent harmonic shifts.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). Requires proficiency in outlining diverse chord changes, extended dominant cycles, and various altered scales within a minor key framework.
