Harmonic Highlights

  • Frequent tonicization of F major (the bVII chord in G minor) through Gm7-C7-Fmaj7 progressions.
  • Chains of ii-V progressions, exemplified by Bm7-E7-Am7-D7, creating extended harmonic motion that often resolves towards G.
  • Incorporation of characteristic minor key specific harmony, such as the bVI7-V7 (Eb7-D7) cadence leading to the G minor tonic.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating diverse ii-V-I progressions and their temporary key centers.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - Requires musicians to adapt to frequent modulations, extended harmonic sequences, and specific minor-key devices.
