Harmonic Highlights
- Chromatic diminished chords, like Ab07 resolving to Dm7 and Eb07 between Em7 and Dm7, introduce unexpected harmonic twists and smooth voice leading.
- The unique Dm, Dmaug, Dm6 sequence creates rich internal tension and color over the ii chord, demanding careful melodic navigation.
- Standard ii-V-I progressions are woven with these chromatic elements, maintaining the C major key center while introducing sophisticated harmonic embellishments.
Improvisation Focus Navigating the various diminished scales associated with the passing diminished chords (e.g., Ab and Eb half-whole diminished).
Difficulty Rating 3. Its frequent use of chromatic diminished chords and the Dmaug sequence adds notable complexity beyond basic diatonic harmony.
