- Utilizes a Phrygian Dominant framework where the E major triad acts as a modal tonic, contrasting with F and G major triads (bII and bIII).
- Features parallel harmonic motion, specifically the E-F-G-F-E progression, which defines the Flamenco-jazz aesthetic through non-functional modal shifts.
- Incorporates a strong pedal point influence, anchoring the tension of the upper-structure triads against a persistent E bass ostinato.
Improvisation Focus E Phrygian Dominant scale (the 5th mode of A Harmonic Minor).
Difficulty Rating 3/5. While the chord changes are repetitive, the fast 3/4 waltz feel and the need for authentic Spanish phrasing require advanced rhythmic control.
