Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features extensive II-V-I progressions, frequently tonicizing F major and G major, often through secondary dominants.
  • The Bbmaj7 (bVIImaj7) chord introduces modal interchange, enriching the harmonic color within the C major context.
  • A strong dominant cadence is established through the C7sus-C7 resolution to the C major tonic.
  • Chromaticism via F#m7b5 signals a temporary departure or preparation for a new section, adding harmonic intrigue.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating II-V-I changes and target-key arpeggios efficiently.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The rapid succession of II-V-I progressions and unexpected chromatic chords like F#m7b5 requires focused harmonic awareness beyond basic major scales.
