- Parallel Chromaticism: The progression utilizes a descending sequence (Am7b5 – Abm7 – Gm7b5) to create sophisticated voice leading toward the primary dominant (C7b9).
- Distant Modulation: A sudden shift to E major (bVII in the context of F minor) occurs via F#m7 – B7, requiring a quick pivot to a non-diatonic tonal center.
- Functional Passing Chords: The use of E°7 between Ebmaj7 and F7 serves as a chromatic connector, smoothing the transition between subdominant and secondary dominant functions.
Improvisation Focus Targeting chord tones via chromatic voice leading to navigate the rapid shifts between F minor and E major.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The combination of parallel minor-seventh movements and abrupt modulations to distant keys requires advanced harmonic navigation and quick mental transposition.
