  • Descending Chromatic Major 7ths: Features a prominent descending chromatic sequence of major 7th chords (Fmaj7 - Ebmaj7 - Dmaj7 - Dbmaj7), creating continuous voice leading motion and rich harmonic color.
  • Altered Dominant Resolution: The C7#9 consistently functions as a colorful V7 resolving to Fm7, anchoring the F minor key center with a strong, yet harmonically dense, dominant chord.
  • Half-Diminished Chord Juxtaposition: The extensive use of various Em7b5, Gm7b5, Dm7b5, Fm7b5, and Bbm7b5 chords suggests rapid minor ii-V implications or non-functional chromaticism, adding complex harmonic interest.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating various minor scales (natural, Dorian, melodic minor) and altered dominant scales over rapidly shifting harmonies.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) - The rapid harmonic rhythm, extensive chromaticism, and frequent use of half-diminished chords demand sophisticated harmonic recognition and melodic resourcefulness.
