- Employs a robust circle-of-fifths progression (VI7–II7–V7–I) which drives the secondary dominant motion throughout the form.
- Features a tonicization of the subdominant via the I7 (C7) to IV (F) transition, typical of early swing-era standards.
- Utilizes a slow harmonic rhythm (two bars per chord), providing significant space for melodic development over extended dominant sonorities.
Improvisation Focus Voice leading through the circle of fifths, specifically targeting the transformation of the 3rd of one dominant chord into the 7th of the next.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The predictable harmonic movement and extended durations per chord make it an ideal vehicle for practicing secondary dominants without high-speed technical demands.
