Harmonic Highlights
- Features a chromatic “upper-neighbor” opening (Fmaj7) that delays resolution to the tonic F# minor via a standard ii-V-i (Bm7 - C#7 - F#m7).
- Employs “side-slipping” transitions, specifically the non-functional shift from F#m7 to Bbm7 and Amaj7, creating a floating, suspended tonal environment.
- Utilizes “Constant Structure” harmony through a rapid sequence of Major 7th chords (Abmaj7, Bmaj7, Dmaj7, Gmaj7) moving by non-diatonic intervals.
Improvisation Focus Modal Fluency: Navigating disparate Lydian and Aeolian centers while maintaining melodic continuity over non-functional shifts.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The frequent transitions between unrelated Major 7th chords and the lack of traditional functional resolutions require advanced harmonic agility and ear training.
