- The A section employs a ii-V-I in the relative major (C major) followed by a chromatic descending line cliché (Am7 - Ab°7 - Am7/G - F#m7b5) to return to the A minor tonic.
- The B section features a definitive modulation to E Major, utilizing sequential ii-V progressions (G#m7-C#7 and F#m7-B7) to establish the new tonal center.
- The harmony bridges functional minor cadences (Bm7b5 - E7b9) with modal interchange, contrasting the dark A minor tonality against the bright, parallel-adjacent E Major.
Improvisation Focus A Melodic Minor for navigating the tonic minor line clichés and the Bm7b5-E7b9 altered dominant resolutions.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The combination of metric modulation between 3/4 and 4/4 time with a sudden modulation to E Major requires advanced rhythmic and harmonic awareness.
