Harmonic Highlights
- Frequent use of the secondary dominant D7 (V7/V) to strengthen the approach to the dominant G7.
- A clear tonicization of the relative major, Ebmaj7, through a standard ii-V-I progression (Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7).
- Intriguing chromatic dominant movements, such as the Ab7 (bVI7) functioning as a tension-building passing chord between G7 and G7b9.
- Incorporation of the characteristic minor iiø7-V7b9-i progression (Dm7b5-G7b9-Cm) as a primary cadential device.
Improvisation Focus C Harmonic Minor Scale
Difficulty Rating 4/5. It requires navigating complex chromaticism, secondary dominants, and tonicization of multiple key centers.
