  • Initial prolonged Cm7 (vi minor) establishes a minor-centric or modal flavor within the Eb major key.
  • Prominent use of bVII7 (Db7) and IV7 (Ab7) chords, demonstrating significant blues and modal interchange elements.
  • Intricate chromatic dominant motion, particularly Ab7, G7 (V7/vi), Gb7 (bII7/V), and F7 (V7/ii), creating sophisticated voice leading.
  • The G7 to Cm7 progression strongly reinforces a V7-i resolution to the relative minor.
