- Utilizes a standard AABA form driven by I-vi-ii-V and iii-VI-ii-V turnarounds in the tonic Bb major.
- Incorporates a secondary ii-V-i (Am7b5 - D7b9 - Gm7) targeting the relative minor, necessitating a shift to G harmonic minor.
- Employs modal interchange via the Eb7 (IV7), functioning as a subdominant variation that adds bluesy tension.
- Features a bridge that sequences through ii-V movements, notably using Em7b5 - A7 to pivot back towards the primary diatonic centers.
Improvisation Focus Mastering Bb major guide-tone connections while clearly outlining the F# and Eb alterations during the minor ii-V-i sections.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic rhythm is predictable and the changes stay mostly within the primary key center, making it an ideal study for intermediate players.
