Harmonic Highlights:

  • Strong diatonic ii-V-I progressions (Fm7-Bb7-Eb6) define the tonic Eb major.
  • Prominent use of a subdominant minor ii-V-I (Bbm7-Eb7-Abmaj7) creating a temporary tonicization of the IV chord.
  • Repeated ii-V movements (Fm7-Bb7) are used to prolong dominant tension before tonic resolution.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating clear ii-V-I progressions and their chord tones.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The piece features clear diatonic harmony with a notable subdominant minor ii-V-I, requiring awareness of temporary tonicizations.
