- Frequent use of secondary dominants (Bbm7-Eb7) creates temporary shifts toward the subdominant (Ab), typical of sophisticated show tunes.
- The tonic minor section utilizes a classic line cliché (Cm to Cm/maj7 to Cm7) before resolving through a secondary dominant (F7).
- A chromatic tritone substitution or bII7 movement (Ebmaj7 to Db7 to C7b9) facilitates a smooth modulation from the C minor/Eb major complex into the parallel C major.
Improvisation Focus C Melodic Minor to navigate the minor-major transitions and line clichés effectively.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: Navigating the frequent modal interchange and the final resolution to the parallel major requires precise awareness of shifting tonal centers.
