- Features a modulation to the bIII (Ab Major) via a Bbm7-Eb7 ii-V sequence, shifting the tonal center up a minor third.
- Employs Bb7 (IV7) to resolve chromatically to Am7 (iii), acting as a bridge between the tonic and the secondary dominant D7.
- Incorporates a tonicization of the V key (C Major) via a G7 dominant, requiring a temporary shift in scale choice away from the home key.
- Utilizes a recurring ii-V-I in F Major to ground the ear before and after modulations.
Improvisation Focus Connecting disparate ii-V-I cells (F, Ab, and C Major) using guide-tone voice leading to maintain melodic continuity.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate): Navigating sudden modulations to distant keys like Ab Major requires proficiency with ii-V patterns in multiple tonal centers at various tempos.
