Harmonic Highlights

  • Strong tonicization of F major (IV) via Gm7-C7-Fmaj7 and D minor (ii) through Em7b5-A7-Dm7 progressions.
  • Prominent use of secondary dominants, exemplified by A7 to Dm7, and D7 to Gm7, creating temporary shifts in tonal center.
  • The overall harmonic rhythm features clear ii-V-I resolutions back to C major, anchoring the piece despite the modulations.

Improvisation Focus Navigating ii-V-I cycles and temporary key centers.

Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate) - The frequent shifts to related keys and secondary dominants require a solid understanding of functional harmony and effective scale/arpeggio transitions.
