Harmonic Highlights:
- Frequent ii-V progressions (Gm7-C7) effectively tonicize the relative major (F), providing temporary resolution points within the D minor key.
- A significant, distant modulation occurs with the Abm7-Db7 (ii-V in Gb major), showcasing advanced harmonic movement far from the tonic.
- The Dm7-G7 movement establishes a D Dorian or minor blues flavor, utilizing the IV7 chord in the minor key context.
- Chromatic voicings like Am-Am/maj7-Am7-D7 create tension and lead into further tonicizations, demonstrating rich harmonic complexity.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapid modulations and accurately outlining target chord tones for various ii-V changes across multiple key centers.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) – The song features numerous, often distant modulations and sophisticated chord progressions requiring a high level of harmonic awareness.
