Harmonic Highlights:
- Frequent secondary dominants and temporary tonicizations (e.g., iiø-V of G minor, ii-V of F minor) within the C minor framework.
- Prominent use of the bVI7 (Ab7) resolving unconventionally to iv (Fm7), adding a distinctive modal/bluesy harmonic color.
- A striking parallel modulation from C minor to C major (Cmaj7), contrasting the initial somber tonality.
- Incorporation of altered dominant sounds (G7b13), enhancing harmonic tension and resolution.
Improvisation Focus: Melodic Minor and its derived modes.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Intermediate-Advanced). The frequent modulations, non-functional dominant usage (Ab7), and parallel major shift demand a solid grasp of advanced harmony.
