Harmonic Highlights
- The opening
Bbm/Eb(functioning as Eb11) ->Ebm7->Eb7sequence establishes a distinctive minor blues or modal quality by using a minor tonic followed by its parallel major dominant. - A sophisticated
Abm7->Ab7#11->G7progression showcases theAb7#11(bVI7 with #11) functioning as a tritone substitution for D7 (V/G), leading powerfully to the C minor V7. - The
C07chord is employed as a chromatic passing or secondary diminished sonority, adding tension before the decisive bII7 -> V7 resolution to the C minor tonic.
Improvisation Focus
Navigating the shifting dominant qualities, particularly using the altered scale (superlocrian) on the Eb7, Ab7#11, and G7 chords.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The piece requires precise navigation of minor key harmony, sophisticated dominant alterations, and tritone substitutions within a shifting tonal landscape.
