Harmonic Highlights:
- The piece frequently uses a bIIImaj7 (Bbmaj7) to bVImaj7 (Ebmaj7) progression, establishing a lyrical, major-key leaning sound within the G minor context.
- Prominent use of ii-V-i progressions, such as Dm7-G7-Cm7 and Cm7-F7b9-Bbmaj7, clearly outlining target chords.
- Incorporation of altered dominants like D7#9 (V7 of Gm) and A7b9 (V7 of Dm) for added color and tension.
- The Db7 tritone substitution for G7, providing a sophisticated harmonic twist before resolving to Cm7.
Improvisation Focus: Melodic Minor scale and its various modes.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The rapid harmonic rhythm, frequent tonicizations, and altered dominant chords require a solid understanding of voice leading and advanced scale applications.
