- Frequent modal interchange between the tonic C minor and its relative Eb major, utilizing pivot chords like Dm7b5 to bridge the two centers.
- Chromatic descending transitions, such as the Am7b5 to Abm6 to Gm7 sequence, which creates smooth linear motion toward the iii chord.
- Extensive use of secondary dominants (Am7–D7 and Gm7–C7) to temporarily tonicize different scale degrees, increasing the harmonic rhythm.
- The inclusion of F#dim7 as a common-tone or sharps-four diminished chord providing a chromatic lift toward the Gm7.
Improvisation Focus
Guide-tone targeting (3rds and 7ths) to navigate the rapid cycle of fourths and shifting tonal centers.
Difficulty Rating
3/5. The frequent modulation between Eb major and C minor, combined with non-diatonic chromatic passing chords, requires an intermediate understanding of functional harmony and agile voice leading.
