No obvious ii-V patterns detected.
- The immediate, bold shift from the Eb major tonic to B major (enharmonically Cb major) establishes a striking chromatic mediant (bVI) relationship.
- A sequential progression of major chords (B-F#-C#) ascending by perfect fifths creates temporary tonicizations, often implying V/X functions before further harmonic motion.
- The D# major (enharmonically Eb major) functions as a chromatic link, re-establishing the tonic’s root before the definitive V-I (Bb-Eb) cadence.
Improvisation Focus: Chromaticism, emphasizing strong melodic voice leading and chord tone embellishment across remote modulations.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) due to the frequent, non-diatonic chord progressions and complex mediant relationships that demand sophisticated melodic and harmonic navigation.
