- The head employs immediate modal interchange, shifting the tonic center from G major to G minor (parallel minor) within the first eight bars.
- A secondary ii-V sequence (Bm7b5–E7b9) targets the supertonic (Am7), creating a sophisticated “ii-of-ii” motion that delays the resolution to the tonic.
- The bridge features a modulation to Bb major (bIII) via a Cm7–F7 sequence, briefly establishing a new tonal center before returning to G major through a chromatic turnaround.
Improvisation Focus Modal interchange (navigating the contrast between G Ionian and G Dorian/Aeolian).
Difficulty Rating 3/5. The frequent shifts between parallel major and minor tonalities, coupled with a typically fast performance tempo, require advanced harmonic navigation and melodic flexibility.
