- Features a prominent tonic pedal point (Eb) throughout the A-section, creating tension against the chromatic Emaj7/Eb (Neapolitan) and F7/Eb harmonies.
- Utilizes modal interchange via a direct shift from the parallel major (Ebmaj7) to the parallel minor (Ebm7).
- Executes a brief modulation to the bIII key (Gb Major) through a chromatic ii-V (Abm7–Db7) before returning to the tonic center.
- Contrasts the static, pedal-heavy “A” sections with standard functional ii-V-I progressions in the “B” section.
Improvisation Focus Modal interchange: Navigating the shift between Eb Ionian and Eb Dorian/Melodic Minor.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The tune requires navigating non-diatonic shifts and pedal point harmony, though the “B” section remains functionally straightforward for intermediate players.
