🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- The A section utilizes a descending chromatic line cliché (F-E-Eb-D) over an F minor triad, establishing a minor-major tonic foundation.
- Harmonic motion follows a hybrid structure, transitioning from the i (Fm) to a ii-V-I in the relative major (Ab) via a secondary dominant (Bb7).
- The B section centers on a IV7 (Db7) moving back to the Im7 (Fm7), emphasizing subdominant minor function and blues-based voice leading.
Improvisation Focus F Melodic Minor (specifically targeting the E natural over the Fm/maj7 to emphasize the line cliché).
Difficulty Rating 3/5; while the relative major sections are accessible, the shifting tonal centers and the specific chromaticism of the minor tonic require precise melodic navigation.
