Harmonic Highlights:
- The piece prominently features Cmaj7 and C6, establishing an extended tonicization of the relative major (C major) within the overall A minor key center.
- The Dm/maj7 chord introduces a distinctive minor-major 7 sound, often derived from the melodic minor scale, adding rich tension and color to the iv harmony.
- A significant ii-V-I progression (F#m7-B7-Emaj7) facilitates a strong, temporary modulation to the dominant major key (E major).
Improvisation Focus: Navigating major and minor ii-V-I progressions, incorporating melodic minor sounds over Dm/maj7 and altered dominants.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) – Requires proficiency in navigating significant modulations and applying specific modal scales to unique chord qualities.
