Harmonic Highlights
- The Eø7 chord functions as a chromatic leading-tone diminished, creating a striking half-step approach to Fm7.
- Frequent use of altered V7 chords (C7b9, C7b13) generates strong tension and color within the F minor tonality.
- A prominent ii-V-i progression (Am7b5-D7b9-Gm7) temporarily tonicizes G minor before resolving back to the V7 of F minor.
- Temporary modulation to D minor via A7b9/C# leading to Dm7 adds an unexpected harmonic turn.
Improvisation Focus Adapting Melodic Minor modes over altered dominant and minor ii-V chords is paramount.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The frequent use of altered dominants and temporary modulations demands strong harmonic and melodic adaptability.
