  • Extensive use of Cm6 establishes a prolonged minor tonic feel, creating a melancholic character despite the stated C major key center.
  • The repeated Dm7b5 - G7b13 progression functions as a iiø-V7b13 of C minor, reinforcing the minor tonality before resolving back to Cm6.
  • The ultimate resolution to C6, following the minor-centric movements, highlights a sophisticated minor-to-major tonic contrast within the same key.

Improvisation Focus: C Dorian scale is key for navigating the predominant Cm6 and the minor ii-V progressions.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) - The interplay between minor and major tonic qualities and the minor-oriented ii-V7s requires careful melodic and harmonic consideration.
