- Utilizes a primary I–IV movement (Eb6 to Abmaj7) followed by a stepwise diatonic walk-down (Gm7–Fm7) back to the tonic.
- Incorporates a secondary ii–V sequence (Bbm7–Eb7) to tonicize the IV chord, creating brief chromatic interest within the Eb major framework.
- Relies on repetitive ii–V–I cadences (Fm7–Bb7–Eb) to reinforce the tonal center and drive the harmonic rhythm.
- Features a standard I–vi–ii–V turnaround (Ebmaj7–Cm7–Fm7–Bb7) in the resolution phases, providing a stable foundation for the melody.
Improvisation Focus Eb Major Scale / Diatonic Arpeggiation.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The predictable diatonic structure and clear resolutions make this an ideal vehicle for mastering basic functional harmony.
