- The opening sequence (Dmaj7, C#m7, Bmaj7, Bbm7, Abmaj7) demonstrates prominent non-functional chromaticism through a descending series of alternating major and minor 7th chords.
- Extensive application of Lydian quality chords, particularly Maj7#11 (e.g., Fmaj7#11, Dmaj7, Cmaj7), frequently replacing expected diatonic or dominant functions within G minor.
- Frequent sustained harmonic plateaus (e.g., four bars of Fmaj7#11, Dmaj7, Ebmaj7) create a floating, modal landscape, often obscuring a strong pull to the G minor tonic.
Improvisation Focus: Lydian Mode
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The constant shifts between non-functional harmony, Lydian modality, and extended static sections demand a highly flexible and sophisticated improvisational approach.
