- Sequential descending modulations: The structure utilizes parallel whole-step transpositions, cycling through tonal centers of C, Bb, and Ab.
- Parallel minor shifts: Each key center transitions from Imaj7 to Im7, employing modal interchange to bridge into the next harmonic sequence.
- Chromatic bridge resolutions: The use of IV9#11 (e.g., F9#11) functions as a dominant-quality pivot, typically resolved via a chromatic V7 (B7) to land on the next target Imaj7 (Bbmaj7).
Improvisation Focus Lydian Dominant scale (Melodic Minor starting on the 4th) to navigate the #11 tensions on the non-functioning dominant chords.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced) because the rapid-fire modulations through parallel keys and whole-step sequences demand exceptional harmonic fluency and transposition skills.
