- Chromatic passing motion: The use of C#o7 functions as a secondary leading-tone chord (vii°7/ii), providing a smooth transition from the tonic to the supertonic.
- Modal interchange: The sudden appearance of Ebmaj7 (bIII) introduces borrowed harmony from the parallel minor, shifting the tonal center briefly before returning to the dominant.
- Minor ii-V influence: The inclusion of Dm7b5 to G7 creates a darker, minor-inflected turnaround within an otherwise bright C major context.
- Subdominant expansion: The movement from F6 through Gm7 and Am7 utilizes parallel diatonic motion within the IV chord area, enriching the melodic development.
Improvisation Focus Targeting chord tones through modal interchange (shifting between C Major and C Aeolian/Mixolydian scales).
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The combination of triple meter (3/4) and frequent non-diatonic shifts requires intermediate harmonic fluency and rhythmic stability.
