Harmonic Highlights:
- Extensive use of pedal points (Eb, then Bb) creates sustained harmonic tension and grounds diverse, often non-functional, chord qualities.
- Chromatic planing of major 7th chords (e.g., Amaj7, Gmaj7 over Eb pedal) generates coloristic harmony, adding rich sonic textures and modal ambiguity.
- Dominant chords like Bb13b9 and E7#11 are presented over pedal points, altering their typical functional resolution and demanding specific modal considerations.
- The slow harmonic rhythm emphasizes sustained sonic environments, inviting deep exploration of each chord’s intervallic and melodic potential.
Improvisation Focus: Modal superimposition over pedal points.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) – Navigating the non-functional harmony, static bass lines, and slow harmonic rhythm requires sophisticated intervallic and modal understanding for compelling improvisation.
