- Utilizes dominant 7th “sus” structures to bypass traditional functional harmony, favoring quartal stacking over tertian resolution.
- Employs a persistent Bb pedal point across much of the form, generating harmonic tension through upper-structure shifts rather than standard root motion.
- Features a modal shift to Ebm11/Bb, contrasting the preceding Mixolydian-based colors with a darker Dorian texture while maintaining the bass drone.
Improvisation Focus Pentatonic Shifting (intervallic movement across Bb, F, and Ab pentatonic/blues scales).
Difficulty Rating 4/5; the lack of functional cadences requires advanced rhythmic intensity and a sophisticated intervallic vocabulary to sustain melodic interest over static modal structures.
