Harmonic Highlights:

  • Extensive application of secondary dominants (A7, D7, G7) to expand harmony towards vi, ii, and V.
  • Prominent tonicizations of the subdominant (Bb) via I7-IV7 and ii-V-I progressions.
  • Strategic use of the Bø7 chord for chromatic tension, often functioning as a V7b9 substitute or passing diminished.
  • Sequential ii-V movements (Cm7-F7, Bbm7-Eb7) indicating brief modulations to Bb and Ab.

Improvisation Focus: Targeting chord tones and guide tones across shifting dominant functions and temporary tonic centers.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). Requires a strong grasp of secondary dominants, diminished chord resolution, and rapid key center changes beyond simple diatonic improvisation.
