  • Extensive exploration of the D major tonic through variations such as Dmaj7#5 and D6, creating internal harmonic movement within the tonic.
  • Strategic use of a bVI7 chord (Bb7) as a chromatic pre-dominant leading to the V7 (A7), offering a distinctive sound before resolving to D.
  • A striking half-step modulation to Ebmaj7#11 introduces a brief but significant tonal shift, creating harmonic tension and surprise.

Improvisation Focus: Mastery of Lydian mode applications over both stable and transient major 7th chords is essential.

Difficulty Rating: 4/5. Demands navigation of sophisticated major chord voicings, chromatic alterations, and abrupt tonal shifts.
